Half Empty Kinda Guy by Michael McDermott
Half Empty Kinda Guy
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
G D/F# Em C
[Verse]
G
Strike another match
D/F#
Babe, let’s watch it burn
Em
They say the simple truth
C
Is the hardest to learn
G
Trouble has been beside me
D/F#
At each and every turn
Em
I guess it’s something here inside me
C
Fairly hard to discern
G
I don’t know who loves me
D/F#
I only know who don’t
Em
I don’t know who will
C
I sure as hell know who won’t
G
I can’t see the rainbow
D/F#
I only see the rain
Em
It's hard to see the beauty
C
Around so much pain
[Chrous]
C D
I can’t see the heavens
D Em
I can only see the sky
C D G
I’m a half empty kinda guy
[Verse]
G
Everything I wanted
D/F#
Always slowly slipped away
Em
Right when I need it most
C
It’s always been this way
G
I still feel like a clown
D/F#
Standing here with the painted tears
Em
I finally put that bottle down
C
After all these years
G
So now I'm finally clean
D/F#
But I’m as dirty as I’ve been
Em
Where it all went wrong
C
I couldn’t tell you how or when
G
So I’ll just keep on keeping on
D/F#
Hope there'll come a day
Em
These shackles will be gone
C
And I’ll be on my way
[Chorus]
C
There ain’t no silver lining
D Em
I’ve searched low and high
C D G
Yeah I’m a half empty kinda guy
[Bridge]
D Em
I cannot recall
C G
The last time I heard good news
D Em
I just ramble around
C G
Singing these strange sort of blues
Am Em
A gypsy read my cards to me
C G
And she let out a yell
C Em
There was a hangman and a tower
D
and a high priestess jezebel
C Em
Then death oh death……why oh why
C D G
I’m a half empty kinda guy
[Verse]
G
Lately something strange
D/F#
Has been happening to me
Em
I wake nightly from slumber
C
Filled with fear and anxiety
G
Then I wrestle round for hours
D/F#
With the voices in my head
Em
Telling me what I should have done
C
And everything I should have said
[Chorus]
C D
If I wasn’t laughing…
D Em
You could bet that I would cry
C D G
Yeah I’m a half empty kinda guy
