 Oh oh darling,  will you ring me up?
 will you take  me to the drive-in, make a bed  of your truck?
 oh oh darling,  I wouldn't die for you
 but I might throw  down in this dirt 'till these skinny  knees turn blue
 just to beg  a dance from you
 if I believe  in it, what wetness fills this cup
 can I turn  it into hope or is it still just some  whiskey shot?
 If it's money  on my mind then it goes down rough
 but if it's heartbreak  that is drowning us
 it goes  down easy enough
 well if lying  up a storm hurts as bad as this
 why then do you  insist lining your pockets  with this?
 well you ought shovel  out your bed and lay for dead in it
 don't be calling  me up when you're sad  that I don't regret
 well ships  go down and trains derail
tanks  overturn and pilots  bail
 but if there's one  thing that I learned in all of this
 it's that sometimes  we sink, sometimes we sink  before we sail
sometimes  we sink, sometimes we sink  before we sail

oh oh [B]darling, I wouldn't die for you
but I might [E]throw down in this dirt 'till these [F#]skinny knees turn blue
just to [B]beg a dance from you  [E]       [F#]
if I be[B]lieve in it, what wetness fills this cup
can I [E]turn it into hope or is it still just [F#]some whiskey shot?
If it's [B]money on my mind then it goes down rough
but if it's [E]heartbreak that is drowning us
it [F#]goes down easy e[B]nough  [E]       [F#]
well if [B]lying up a storm hurts as bad as this

[E]sometimes we sink, sometimes we [F#]sink before we [B]sail [E]      [F#]            [B]
