_ [G] _ Every day in Rochon High School, [D] all of my senior year,
[Em] Drink my Coca-Cola [C] with that touch of [G] Everclear.
I never read or studied math, [D]
science or history.
I'd have a chemical flashback to jog my [G] memory.
And my junior year, I swore I'd [D] love a sweet Michelin.
One night I put some Everclear [C] in her Diet Coke [G] ever again.
Well, that boy didn't take her easy, she took it pretty hard.
[D] My homeowner rang her [C] doorbell, I left her laying [G] in the yard.
[C] He came to [G] drive me out, [C]
beer just [G] makes you fat.
[D] Whiskey makes me nauseous, [C] tell me [G] who the hell needs that?
Good thing you're not drinking, [D]
answer's crystal clear.
Invisible _ [C] intoxicants [G] called Everclear.

_ _ [G] Well, I remember my church picnic [D] in the spring of 89.
_ [B] They had four fresh [C] watermelons sliced right [G] off the vine.
When they [F] bowed their heads, giving [D] grace for the food.
_ I pulled out my bottle [C] and I [G] soaked them melons good.
Well, they never knew what hit them [D] when the potion went to work.
They had grandpas doing back flips, [G] grandpas looking out the skirt.
[C] They were singing, _ _ [G]
Willie Nelson songs.
[D] It was the [Dm] best dang picnic in [C] the paradise I've [G] ever thrown.
[C] The Michelin [G] drives me [C] out, beer just [G] makes me fat.
[D] Whiskey makes me nauseous, [C] tell me [G] who the hell needs that?
Good thing you're not drinking, [D] your answer's crystal clear.

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now, a good friend of mine named [F] Mike Ethan Messick wrote the Everclear song.
_ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] He sent it to [F] me and told me he had written [G] the perfect country and western [D] song.
_ _ [Cm] _
[G] _ _ _ _ Well, after [C]
reading it, [G] I sat down and wrote him a letter.
I told him he had not written the perfect country and western song.
Because he hadn't said anything at all about John Wayne.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ He hadn't [G] said anything about Steve Earl. _ _ _ _
_ He didn't even mention getting drunk and passing out naked.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
[G] And he didn't say anything at all about waking up and [D] finding lipstick [G] in strange parts of your [F] body.
_ [F] _
_ [G] _ So he sat down and he [Dm] wrote another verse to the Everclear song.
And after [G] reading it, I realized that my friend had [D] written [F] the perfect country and [G] western song.
And I feel obliged to sing it for you now.
That [Dm] last verse goes [G] like this, Harry. _ _ _ _ _
_ When I'm drinking Everclear, [D] I think I'm king of this whole world.
Well, I'm bigger [A] and badder than John Wayne and I'm cooler than Steve Earl.
[G] Till I [D] wake up and I'm face down in the hall.
And I'm completely naked for a reason [Dm] I can't [G] recall.
Well, I'm kinda, sorta [D] thinking, maybe I met a chick.
There's perfume in the air, [C] but there's lipstick on [D] my neck.
[C] And I hope that she was [G] pretty.
I hope that she was kind.
I have to leave my clothes [D] somewhere easy to find.
The keelin' drives me [C] out.
The beer [G] just makes me fat.
[D] Whiskey makes me nauseous.
[C] Tell me [G] who the hell am I using?
Everything that I [D] drink.
The ranch is crystal clear.
The invisible toxic.

_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [C] don't have to call me darling.
_ [G] _
_ _ Darling, _ _ _ you never _ even [D] call me.
And [G] I wonder why [Bb] you [C] don't call [D] me.
[G] Why don't you ever [D] _ [D] call me by [C] my _ _ _ name?
_ _ [G] _
By my name. _ _ _
