It's a hard luck story, don't know where to begin

My good father, he say to me,

"Better come back to your senses 
                              F      C 
There's an empty bottle lying on the floor 
         G                 C 
And it's undermined your defenses"

I've been walking in the backyard of Satan 
                          F          C
