"When I Drink Chords" by The Avett Brothers

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] When I drink, _ [G] _ I say [A] things I don't [Bm] wanna say.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] I do [A] things I _ don't [D] wanna [A]
do.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
I talk [A] mean to you, _ [D] _ _
but if [Bm] I think [G] I just [A] might get something [Bm] out of this.
[D] My _ _ _ [G] _ parents taught [A] me to learn _ [D] when I _ [Bm] mess.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
Just [A] do your best, _ [Bm] _ _
just [D] do your best.
[F#m] It's the only way to [Em] keep that last bit of sanity.
[Bm] Maybe I don't [A] have to be good, but I can try [G] to be at least a little [A] better than I've been so _ _ far.
[D] But _ when [Bm] I drink, _ _ [G] I hear things [A] that aren't _ [Bm] really there.
[D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ Feel [A] things when I shouldn't _ [D] really _ _ [Bm] _ care.
_ [G] Half fist fights [A] with the air. _
_ [D] _ But if [Bm] I think _ [G] _ about someone [A] _ _
besides [Bm] _ myself,
[D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] I live [A] through the silver and [D] the [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ bell.
_ [G] _ With [A] something to tell, _
_ [Bm] _ _ just [D] do your best.
[F#m] It's the only way to keep [Em] that last bit of [Bm] sanity.
Maybe I don't have to [A] be good, but I can try to [G] be at least a little better [A] than I've been so _ far.
_ _ [D] _ [Bm] But when I drink, _ _ [G] _ I spend [A] the next morning [Bm] in a haze.
[D] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
But we [A] only get so [D] many _ [C#] days.
[Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ Now I [A] have one less.
_ [Bm] _ _ Just do your [D] best.
[F#m] It's the only way to keep [Em] that last bit of [Bm] sanity.
Maybe I don't have to [A] be good, but I can try to [G] be at least a little better [A] than I've been so far.
_ Oh, [G] at least a little [A] better than I've been so _ far. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
