Standard (EADGBE)

(I drink...thirsty) (I drink...dry)

I drink cause I'm thirsty

I drink cause I'm dry

I'm not yet quite thirty

But I feel like I'm dying

I drink cause I want to, cause I need to,

Cause I don't know what else to do

With my time, I won't say it

You can see it in my eyes.

(Same chords)

You drink cause you're lonely

You drink cause you're sad

You always claim every party

Was the best time you've ever had

You drink cause you're scared of

A life of living off your own company

You won't say it but I can see it in your eyes.

Middle 8

Of all of the things I could become

A lonely drunkard isn't one

Which I would've wished

When I was young

(Same chords)

Drink has drunk my days away

I tried to live like Hemingway

Life just doesn't work that way

Pills don't kill the pain

They just delay

(Back to Verse Chords)

We drink cause we're scared that

If we should stop

The good times will go away

But the bad times will not

What if it's over and we're sober

And we still feel like we're fixing to die

What then?

Don't say it cause I can see it in your eyes

Break

The next round's on me (x4)

The next round's on me (x4)
