Eric Shaw - Goin Out On Top

	  		 

Intro: G 

Verse 
G 
Been doing this Friday night routine 

For so long I forgot 

I just ordered one more round 

Of one too many on the rocks 
    Em 
And in a couple hours 
         A 
They'll drag me to the street 
             C 
And they'll place some bets among themselves 

If I'll make it back next week 
                   G 
Hell, I don't know 

Verse 
G 
And I'll wake up in the morning 

On the front porch of my home 

It would make a lot of sense to me 

If I woke up there alone 
    Em 
But she hands me my coffee 
     A 
Even as her blue eyes roll 
           C 
And she reminds me that my 20's 

Were 20 years ago 


     G          D       Em   C 
Well life comes at you fast 
    G               D 
My days of staying out all night 
      Em              C 
Are better off in the past 
             Em 
But I've got one good run left in me 
            A 
We're gonna pull out all the stops 
       C 
And before I hit rock bottom 
                      G 
I'm goin' out on top 


Verse 
G 
There's a line of kids with ID 

But the doorman waves me by 

I roll in like a king 

Holding court for one last time 
   Em 
So barkeep line 'em up 
      A 
It's time for another round 
  C 
Tonight's gonna me by swan song 
                              G 
We're closing this place down 
 
     G          D       Em   C 
Well life comes at you fast 
    G               D 
My days of staying out all night 
      Em              C 
Are better off in the past 
             Em 
But I've got one good run left in me 
            A 
We're gonna pull out all the stops 
       C 
And before I hit rock bottom 
                      G 
I'm goin' out on top 


Interlude: G D Em C (x2) 

           G                       D 
You know I can't quite run like I used to 
         Em                      C 
When the sun comes up I've got things to do 
     G                     D           C 
The good times seem to be rolling over me 
       G                  D 
But I left my mark and I made my name 
         Em                      C 
There's plenty after me who will do the same 
G                        D          C 
We're all chapters in a honky tonk legacy 


     G          D       Em   C 
Well life comes at you fast 
    G               D 
My days of staying out all night 
      Em              C 
Are better off in the past 
             Em 
But I've got one good run left in me 
            A 
We're gonna pull out all the stops 
       C 
And before I hit rock bottom 
                      G 
I'm goin' out on top
