D G D 
D A D 
 
Verse:
   D                    Em   D 
I lost my faith a long time ago 
   D                   G   D 
Puttin' miles on this old road 
   D                    Em       D 
I lost my family and I lost my soul 
   D                Em   D 
800 miles and one more show 
 
Instrumental: Bm G D (x2) 
 
Verse 
D                            Em     D 
Still workin' these fingers to the bone 
   D                       Em   D 
When the show is over I settle on 
             D                     Em   D 
Well the angels and devils are my only friends 
        D                       Em     D 
I wake up in the morning and I do it again 
 
 
A 
I don't know what you've been told 
          G                         D 
All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul 
       A 
I've done it all so where do I begin 
    G                           D 
To fix all the messes and the state I'm in 
      D    Bm D 
It's hard 
           Bm   G D 
Yeah it's hard 
 
Verse 
   D                    Em   D 
I feel like there's a better way 
   D                   Em   D 
To make it through another day 
    D                        Em   D 
So sad that life turned out like this 
        D                    Em   D 
'Cause I still taste you on my lips 
 
 
A 
I don't know what you've been told 
          G                         D 
All the whiskey in the world won't save my soul 
       A 
I've done it all so where do I begin 
    G                           D 
To fix all the messes and the state I'm in 
      D    Bm D 
It's hard 
           Bm   G D 
Mmh it's hard 
 
Outro 
 
      D    Bm D 
It's hard 
           Bm   G D 
Mmh it's hard
