[Am] [G] [C]
[G]
Well, I got a bad [C] liver [D] and [G] a broken [D] heart
Yeah, [G] I drunk [C] me a river [G] since you told [C] me apart
And I [G] don't have a [C] drinking [D] problem
Except when [G] I can't get a [D] drink
[E] I wish you'd have known how we [G] were quite [Cm] a [G] pair
[C] She was sharp [G] as a razor and soft [C] as a [D] prayer
So [G] [C] welcome [D] to [Am] the [D] continuing saga
She [E] was my better half and I was [G] just a [G] doggone
And [C] so here I [G] am slumped
[Cm] I've been chippin' and I've [D] been chomped on [E] my stool
So buy [G] this fool [C] [G] some spirits [C] and [G] libations
It's these [D] railroad station [E] bars
And all these [G]
conductors and reporters
[C] And I'm all out [G] of quarters
And this [C] epitaph [D]
is [C] the [D] aftermath
Yeah, [G] I choose my path, [C] hey, come [G] on, Cath
He's a lawyer, [C]
[D] he ain't the [E] one for ya
And no, [G] the moon [C] ain't [G] romantic
[C] It's intimidating [G] as hell
And some [C] guy's [D] tryin' to sell me a [G] watch
[C] [D] And so [G] I'll [C] meet you [D] at the bottom of a [E] bottle of Bargain Scotch
I got me [G] a bottle and a dream
It's [C] so mild and it [G] seems
You [C] can [G] name [C] your [D] poison
Go on [C] ahead and make some [D] noise
I ain't [E] sentimental
This ain't a [D] purchase, [G] it's a [Cm] rental and [G] it's [C] purgatory
[G] Hey, what's your story?
[C] Well, I [D] don't even care
[C] [D] I got my own [E] double-crossed bear
[G] [C] Well,
[G] [Am] [G] [C]
[G]
[C] [G] I'll see [Cm] your [D] red label
[G] And I'll raise [Am] [G] you one more
[Am] [G] And [C] you [G] can [C] pour me [D] a cab
I just [G] [C] can't [D] drink no more
Cause it don't douse [G] the flames
That are [Cm] started by [D] dames
It ain't like [E] asbestos
It don't [G] do nothin' [C] [G] but rest us [C]
assured
[G] And [C] substantiate the [D] rumors that you've [G] heard
