Standard (EADGBE)
A little drunk is better than dead
When theyre strapping you down inside your own head
So you hang out with the man on the moon
But why does the morning have to come too soon?
When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic
All your radio is picking up is cheap static
So you reach beneath your front seat
For the taste of something sweet
::Chorus::
Well, just remember what the drowning man said
A little drunk is better than dead
Before you put the gun to your head
Remember what the drowning man said
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Verse #2::
A little drunk is better than dead
When youre tripping down the path that you were led
When your ass has been slapped by too many doors
And you think of all the good things you cant afford
You cant find a good woman cant find a good job
You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob
You just cant swallow all the shit youve been fed
Been punched in the eye so much you only see red
::Chorus::
But before you put that gun to your head
A little drunk is better than dead
Remember what the drowning man said
Before you put the gun to your head
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Instrumental Solo::
::Verse #3::
A little lost is better than found
When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground
But someones always there to lend you a hand
But too late youre already neck deep in quick sand
And youre sprawled out on some floor
Some one call for help "Is he alive? Were not sure"
Everybodys screaming, everyones in a panic
But you, your face is peaceful like its plastic
And as they roll him away on the stretcher
We knew that hed be drunk forever
I guess a little drunk is better
::Chorus::
Before you put the gun to your head
Remember what the drowning man said
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
