[F#] [C#]
[F#] I woke up this morning and [C#] I swore to God I'd never, [F#] never take another [C#] drink again.
[F#] I fought it like the devil, [C#] but you know that you're in trouble [F#] when you're 14 and drunk
by 10 [C#] a.m.
[F#] Tried to hide it from my mom and dad.
All my friends said, straighten up.
[C#] I just laughed, said, you don't [F#] understand.
[C#] That's a hell of a lot [G#] of a [F#] drinking man.

At 16 I was on my own and flying high and staying stoned.
[G#m] I knew [C#] everything there was to know.
I [F#] did things that I can't talk about.
[C#] I wore my mom and daddy out.
[G#] Late nights they spent praying for [C#] my soul.
[F#] Stayed sober once for nine days [C#] in a row.
I quit [F#] cold turkey.
[C#] Damn near almost made [F#] it to 10.
[C#] But that's a hell of a lot [G#] of a
[F#] drinking man.
[C#] [A#m]
[G#] I look [F#] into the mirror, [C#] bottle in [G#] my hand.
[F#]
[G#] I'd like to [F#] pour it out.
[C#] I just don't think I [G#] can.
[C#] That's a hell of a lot [G#] of a
[C#] [F#] drinking.
[C#]
[F#] [C#]
I don't know when or where [F#] it [C#] was or how we met and fell in [F#] love
or why she'd even fall for a [C#] guy like me.
I tried to pull myself together hoping we could last [F#] forever.
For a while I [C#] started to believe.
[F#] Her [C#] daddy said [F#] she's all I got.
Son, don't ever break her [C#] heart.
Promise me before you [F#] take her hand.
[C#] But that's just too much [G#] to ask [F#] of a drinking man.
