Lonely At The Top(Chords)

	        INTRO: A  E  A 

      A 
I was pourin' out my troubles 
      D 
To a stranger in the bar 
      A 
About the problems and the pressures 
      E 
On a country music star 

     A 
Half braggin', half complainin' 
         D 
bout the money and the fame 
A 
And just how lonely life can be 
           E                A 
When you've made yourself a name 

 
       D 
I said would you like a drink 
        A 
He said thanks, I'll have a double 

I've worked up a powerful thirst 
                         E 
just listening to all your troubles 
    D 
And while he makes that drink 
     A 
I'll smoke one if you got 'em 

It might be lonely at the top, 
           E            A 
but its a bitch at the bottom 


INTRO 

I left a hundred on the table 
and didn't wait around for change 
with my load a little lighter 
and my thinking rearranged 
That stranger made me realize 
how thankful I should be 
And if I forget I hope those words 
he said I hope come back to me 

 
I said would you like a drink 
He said thanks, I'll have a double 
I've worked up a powerful thirst 
just listening to all your troubles 
And while he makes that drink 
I'll smoke one if you got 'em 
It might be lonely at the top, 
but its a bitch at the bottom 


It might be lonely at the top, 
          E            A     E  A 
but its a bitch at the bottom
