[D] [E] [A]
When I first met you, [E] I didn't understand
What a nagging, bitchin' woman [A] can do to a man
Well, it seems that the girl I married [D] ain't quite the same
Well, [E] I thought I knew you better when I [B] [A] gave you my name
The only time I'm sober [E] is when you're gone
And the bottle is the only [A] thing that keeps me hanging on
The man on the [C#] radio [D] keeps singing sad, sad songs
[E] Like the only time I'm sober is when [F#m] you're gone
[A] Well, I have no need to travel [E] anywhere's too far
And they know me by my first [A] name at all the local bars
Well, I've heard that a failing love [D] can drive a man to drink
[E] Well, I would have left you if I hadn't [D] been [A] too high to think
The only time I'm sober is when you're [E] gone
And the bottle is the only [A] thing that keeps me hanging on
The man on the [C#m] radio [D] keeps singing sad, sad songs
[E] Like the only time I'm sober is when [A] you're gone
[E] [A]
Yes, I'd better go now, [G] [E] it's getting pretty late
But I'll be back tomorrow [F#] night, so [A] I'll be safe my place
And I'll tell you all about the [D] tales of pain and misery
[E] And the heartaches that you cause by [D] being [E] too damn blind to [A] see
That the only time I'm sober is when [E] you're gone
And the bottle is the only thing [A] that keeps me hanging on
The man on the [C#] radio [D] keeps singing sad, sad songs
[E] Like the only time I'm sober is when [A] you're gone
Like [E] the only time I'm sober is when [A] you're gone
