Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Feels like a Friday night

 But it's only Monday afternoon

 Still there's a party goin' on in my livin' room

It's just me and fifth of Beam

Swayin' to the sounds of old George Jones

 And it won't be long 'til the whole damn bottle's gone

And I know it might sound sad

 But to tell the truth it ain't half bad

I love my misery

 Gonna drown my blues in a sea of whiskey

 I'm drinkin' again

 Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in

 So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin' in

 Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn

 I'm drinkin' again

I've got no friends to call

They've all straightened up and settled down

 And they don't ever wanna hang around

But I guess I understand

This house ain't much for company

 Smells like a cesspool here

It's stinkin' nasty

And you might say I'm bad off

But I chose the road I strumbled across

I picked my poison

Give me another shot of bourbon

 Cause I'm drinkin' again

Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in

 So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in

 Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn

 I'm drinkin' again

 Well fortunately for me I find relief

 When the world is weighin' down on me

 I pop a top, I take a shot, I drop a pill

 Turn the radio up, sit back and chill

Pretend my life is a bed of roses

Try not to notice all the ghosts

 That are hauntin me and tauntin me

 And wantin me to cut my wrists

So they can watch me bleed

 And laugh at me, as I scream in agony

I get high for the sake of my family

 Cause the alcohol is all that's helpin me

 To cope since I went broke and lost my hope

I kicked my girl to the curb of the road

 You know I couldn't afford to support us both

 Hell I'm not rich, don't have a good job

 Do construction work with this dude named Bob

 And he's an ass. Yells at me all the time

 Pays minimum wage on overtime

 Still he's got it made, drives an Escalade

 And gets two hundred times what I get paid

 But that's okay.

I'll drink to his health and ruin mine

I'll chug liquor and he can sip red wine

 And I'll be fine. Trying to find some peace

 I'll quit payin' my rent and I'll break my lease

 I'll live out on the streets and beg for change

Crawl in a box when it starts to rain

 Forget my family and my friends

 Forget the world, ya'll, I'm drinkin' again

 I'm drinkin' again

Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in

 So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in

 Sure, it's a sin, but I done lost control

 And I'm drinkin' again y'all

 I'm drinkin' again

 I'm drinkin' again...

 I done said goodbye

 To the twelve-step program

 I'm drinkin' again...
