D    D7  G  D    D     A     A7  D


[Verse 1]
D
Six pack of somthin’ bottle of pills
                          D7
Got to be a better way to get my thrills
G                                          D
Lord you know sometime live’ ain’t hardly enough
A                            A7               D
Not when you’re waitin’ on a sign from heaven above


[Verse 2]
D
Lyin’ round the house wastin’ sleep all day
                          D7
Everything I wanted keeps slippin’ away
G                                       D
What can I do when my time flies like a dove?
A                         A7                D
Won’t come back without a sign from heaven above


[Verse 3]
D
This nine to five work in giving me the blues
                            D7
Wanna get my picture on the six o’clock news
G                                   D
Oh pretty baby maybe I ain’t go the stuff
A                                 A7                D
But I can’t make a move without a sign from heaven above


[Verse 4]
D
I found me a lover she’s six foot three
                            D7
Everybody says she’s better looking than me
G                                        D
What can I say I guess I’m only lucky in love?
A                                       A7                 D
Lord it helps pass the time when you’re waiting on heaven above


[Instrumental]
D    D7  G  D    D     A     A7  D


[Verse 5]
D
Bar full of strangers and fifty cent beer
                        D7
God Almighty, what am I doin’ here
G                                             D
Always end up on the floor when push comes to shove
A                              A7               D
Can’t pick myself up without a sign from heave above


[Verse 6]
D
But I gotta write it down make everything right
                          D7
Goin’ to a party on Saturday night
G                                      D
Me oh my, what on earth was I thinkin’ of
A                          A7                D
Time rolls by when you’re waitin’ on heaven above
A                               A7                D
Yeah life rolls by when you’re waitin’ on heaven above


[Verse 1]
D
Six pack of somthin’ bottle of pills
                          D7
Got to be a better way to get my thrills
G                                          D
Lord you know sometime live’ ain’t hardly enough
A                            A7               D
Not when you’re waitin’ on a sign from heaven above
