[F#] I woke up this morning [C#] and I swore to God I'd never, [F#] ever take another [C#] drink again.
[F#] I fought it like the devil, [C#] but you know that you're in trouble [F#] when you're 14 and drunk
by [C#] 10 a.m.
[F#] Tried to [G#] hide it from [F#] my mom and dad.
All my friends said straightened up.
[C#] I just laughed, said you don't [F#] understand.
[C#] That's a hell of a lot [G#] of a [F#] drinking man.
[C#] [D#]
[C#] At [G#m] [C#]
16 I was on my own and flying high and staying [G#m] stoned.
I knew [C#] everything there was to know.
[F#] I did things that I can't talk [C#] about.
I wore my mom and daddy out.
Late nights they spent praying for my soul.
[F#] Stayed sober once for nine days [C#] in a row.
I quit [F#] cold turkey.
[C#]
Damn near almost made [F#] it to jail.
[C#] But that's a hell of a lot [G#] of a [F#] drinking.
I [C#] [A#m] [G#]
look [F#] into the mirror, [C#] bottle in my [G#]
hand.
[F#] [G#] I'd like to [F#] pour it out.
[C#] I just don't think [G#] I can.
[C#] That's a hell of a lot [G#] of a [C#] [F#] drinking.
[C#] [F#]
[C#]
I don't know when or where it was or how we met and fell in [D#] love or why she'd even [C#] fall
for a guy like me.
I tried to pull myself together hoping we could last forever.
For a while I started to believe.
[F#] Her [C#] daddy said [F#] she's all I got.
Son, don't ever break her [C#] heart.
Promise me before you take [F#] her hand.
[C#] But that's just too much [G#] of a [F#] drinking man.
