Drinkin' Again

[A]  [E]  [D]  [A]  [F#m]  [G]  [D]

[A]Feels like a Friday night
But it's [F#m]only Monday after[G]noon
Still there's a [D]party goin' on in my livin' room
[A]It's just me and fifth of Beam
[F#m]Swayin' to the sounds of old [G]George Jones
And it won't be [D]long 'til the whole damn bottle's gone

[A]And I know it might sound [F#m]sad
But to tell the truth it ain't half [G]bad

I love my misery
Gonna [D]drown my blues in a sea of whiskey

I'm [E]drinkin' a[A]gain
[D]Tryin' [E]hard to hide the pain I'm [A]in
So don't [D]give me any [C#m]shit, I know just [Bm]what I'm gettin' [A]in
Sure, it's a [G]sin but I don't really [D]give a damn
I'm drinkin' [A]again  [F#m]        [G]            [D]

[A]I've got no friends to call
[F#m]They've all straightened up and settled [G]down
And [D]they don't ever wanna hang around
[A]But I guess I understand
[F#m]This house ain't much for compa[G]ny
Smells like a [D]cesspool here, It's stinkin' nasty

[A]And you might say I'm bad off
[F#m]But I chose the road I strumbled a[G]cross
I picked my poison [D]Give me another shot of bourbon

Cause I'm [E]drinkin' a[A]gain
[D]Tryin' [E]hard to hide the pain I'm [A]in
So don't [D]give me any [C#m]shit, I know just [Bm]what I'm gettin [A]in
Sure, it's a [G]sin but I don't really [D]give a damn
I'm drinkin' a[A]gain

Well [A]fortunately for me I find relief
When the [F#m]world is weighin' down on me
I pop a [G]top, I take a shot, I drop a pill
Turn the [D]radio up, sit back and chill
[A]Pretend my life is a bed of roses
[F#m]Try not to notice all the ghosts
That are [G]hauntin me and tauntin me
And wantin me to [D]cut my wrists

So they can watch me bleed
And [A]laugh at me, as I scream in agony
[F#m]I get high for the sake of my family
Cause the [G]alcohol is all that's helpin me
To [D]cope since I went broke and lost my hope
[A]I kicked my girl to the curb of the road
You know I [F#m]couldn't afford to support us both
Hell [G]I'm not rich, don't have a good job
Do [D]construction work with this dude named Bob
And he's an [A]ass. Yells at me all the time
Pays [F#m]minimum wage on overtime
Still he's [G]got it made, drives an Escalade
And gets [D]two hundred times what I get paid
But that's oka[A]y.

I'll drink to his health and ruin mine
[F#m]I'll chug liquor and he can sip red wine
And I'll be [G]fine. Trying to find some peace
I'll quit [D]payin' my rent and I'll break my lease
I'll live [A]out on the streets and beg for change
[F#m]Crawl in a box when it starts to rain
For[G]get my family and my friends
Forget the [D]world, ya'll, I'm drinkin' again

I'm [E]drinkin' a[A]gain
[D]Tryin' [E]hard to hide the pain I'm [A]in
So don't [D]give me any [C#m]shit, I know just [Bm]what I'm gettin [A]in
Sure, it's a [G]sin, but I done [D]lost control
And I'm [A]drinkin' again y'all
I'm [F#m]drinkin' again  [G]      [D]

I'm drinkin' again

I'm drinkin' again
I'm drinkin' a[A]gain

I done said good[F#m]bye
To the twelve-step [G]program    [D]

I'm drinkin' again
I'm [A]drinkin'
