_ _ Well I got [Am] a bad liver, [D] _ _ _ I [C] got a _ broken [D] heart, _ _ [G] Yes I drunk the [F] river _ [G] since you tore [C] me apart.
_ _ _ No I don't have a drinking _ [D] problem, except [Am] when I can't get a [D] drink. _
_ _ [E] _ _ I wish you'd have known that [C] we were quite a pair. _
[G] _ _ _ [C] She was sharp as a [G] razor, _ she [C] was soft as [D] a prayer.
_ [Am] So welcome _ [D] to _ the [C] continuing [D] saga. _
She was [E] my better half, _ and I was just [Am] a dog.
_ [G] _ _ _ [C] So here I [G] am slumped, and I've been [Am]
chipped, and I've been [D] chomped on my stool.
[E] _ _ _ Come on anybody, buy this [Am] fool.
_ _ _ [G]
Spirits and my [C] patience, _ [G] _ _
it's [A] all these railroad _ [D] station boys,
_ [E] _ and all of these _ [Am] _ conductors and [G] the pointers, _ and [C] them all out of [G] a quarter. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] And it's the _ [D] epitaph, _ _ welcome [Am] to the aftermath, [D] _ _ but I've got [Cm] to choose my [G] _ path.
[C] Hey come on [G] Cass, _ you know he's [A] a [C] lawyer, _ _ [D] _ he ain't the one [E] for ya.
_ _ And no [Am] the moon ain't _ [G] romantic, _ it's [C] _ intimidating [G] as hell. _
[Am] Some guy's trying [D] to sell me [Am] a watch.
_ _ [D] _ _ So [C] I'll meet you [D] at the bottom of a bottle [E] of bargain scotch.
_ _ I've got [Em] me _ [Am] a bottle and a [G] dream, _ _ [C] it's so modern it _ [G] _ seems. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] I can name your [D] poison, _ go [C] ahead and make some [F] [D] noise.
I ain't _ sentimental, [E] _ _ _ oh this ain't a purchase.
It's [Am] a rental, _ _ [G] it's _ purgatory.
[C] _ _ _
[G] Hey what's your [Am] story, well I [D] don't even care.
_ I got my [E] own double-crossed bear.
_ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So [C] I'll see your [D] red label, _ [Em] and [G] I'll [C] raise you one [G] more.
_ [Am] _ _
And you can pour me a [D] cab, _ cause [C] I just can't [D] drink no more.
And it don't [G] douse the _ flames _ _ _ _ _ that are _ [Am]
starved by [D] dames. _ _
It ain't like _ [E] asbestos, _ _ _ it don't [F] do _ [Cm] nothing but [Bm] rest [G] [C] assured.
_ _ [B] _
As it [Am] _ _ _ substantiates the [D] rumors _ that _ _ _ you've [G] _ heard. _ _
