Coulda Woke up Dead   E  6/03
(intro) E  B  E  BE (intro)
A  E   A  E
Woke up this morning at a quarter to ten
A  E   B  E
Rememberin I’m supposed to go to work again
A  E   A  E
Your daddy’s so late he didn’t lay me no jive 
D  A  B    E
Makes me happy just to wake up alive     

On the highway to my work I’m drivin 85
Not paying much mind, to the will to survive (pause)
I aint singing your particular song in my head
Just dreaming about rolling back in your warm bed (pause)


 (chorus)
A   D   A  
Might coulda been different coulda woke up dead
E   B  E
I wouldn’t a had to listen to what your daddy said
A   D   A  
Might coulda been paying your bills instead
       D  A   B    (intro) E B  E  BE 
I’m gonna celebrate one more life … in debt … (sp) I guess I owe him one small debt

Solo
Been around a long time I got no regrets
Cept I never could get you off of that track bettin’
What trouble I’ m missing with your money all gone
Guess I’ll find another way to carry on (pause)

If the you like driving me to work that much
You can do it yourself I’ll let you pop the clutch
Maybe one of these days you’ll quit that vice
Make you happy just to wake up alive
A   D   A  
Why’s your daddy been a poking round and round
 E  B  E
Asking this one and that one up on my end of town    
 A                D A                D A B
He done figure’d who’s doing your stuff        He’s beatin you to the punch
(intro) / (chorus)
