[Verse]
Am E Am
Your knuckles are bare and red as the sun
Am E Am
Your head pounds like fists in the night
Am E Am
And the woman at home, she said you’re no good
Am E Am
You stepped out ‘cause you know that she’s right
[Chorus]
C Am
Well good times are found in a bottle and a zip-lock bag
F Am
And when you met it was love at first sight
C Am
And it’s trouble ahead and a mess to the left and the right
Dm E7
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
Am
Out on the poverty wind

Am E Am
It’s eight-fifty an hour, get your ass out of bed
Am E Am
Stand in line and work for the day
Am E Am
For a slave-driving bastard, no better than you
Am E Am
You’re in luck if you ever see your pay
[Chorus]
C Am
Well you’ve had it bad and it shows in the lines of your face
F Am
But it can’t get any worse now you’ve found your place
C Am
With those loud mouth, piece of shit nothings that you call friends
Dm E7
It blows hard, and you can’t win
Am

[Verse]
Am E Am

Am E Am
That mildew, second-hand smoke and old brown paint
Am E Am
And the kid is as restless as you were at his damn age
Am E Am
You hope that he won’t, but know that he will
[Chorus]
C Am
Well good times are found in a bottle and a zip-lock bag
F Am
And when you met it was love at first sight

And it’s trouble ahead and a mess to the left and the right

The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
Dm E7
The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been

The devil you know, that’s where you’ve been
