Intro (x2): G Am C C7 G Verse 1 G Well, a truest test of a man's good name Am is Acceptance of failure and losing a game, C C7 G with a smile and a handshake , quiet every building rage G I got knocked around in a real small town, Am and they poked and and they prodded and marched me around, C C7 G for a laugh at the snow, try to tear a good man's soul Chorus: G For a fool's gold, a beggars bargain Am too much time, space to get lost in, C C7 G its one for the road, two if you can let it go. G Blood's thick, but waters deeper, Am the wine works fine, but the wiskeys cheaper C C7 G Now turn it around, quick before your Sun goes down. Verse 2: G Well, I see you found yourself a damn fine game, Am you got lines on your mind and ounces to say, C C7 G but it's okay, we've both seen our darker days. G But it's like you've never saw a sucker before, Am been alive on the side of you bed room door, C C7 G with an ear on the phone, beggin just to let it go. Chorus (x2): G For a fool's gold, a beggars bargain Am too much time, space to get lost in, C C7 G its one for the road, two if you can let it go. G Blood's thick, but waters deeper, Am the wine works fine, but the wiskeys cheaper C C7 G Now turn it around, quick before your Sun goes down.
