I think she tried to make it work

She always called me a mistake

And I've been going out at night

Maybe it's the night that took it all away
G Em7 Cadd9 G
And I've got next to nothing in my bank account

But I've got some friends that bail me out

It's a hard life, I tell ya
G Em7 Cadd9 G
Living hand to mouth

I think my welcome's been well-worn
