Start Jamming...
I'm drinking again, [G#] thinking of [F#m] when you left [C#m] me, and that was [A] so once so long [D] ago.
[C#]
[Bm] [E]
I've been [A] having a few, [G#m]
[F#m] and wishing [A] that you
[D] were right [Bm]
here by my [D] [E] side.
[A] I'm making the [G#] rounds, [F#m]
and setting them [A] up, [E]
[D] a total stranger to myself.
[Bm]
I'm just making a [B] fool [E] of myself.
[A] I'm just hoping that you'll come right back one some [F#m] day.
But I [A] know, I know, I know, [D] that there's no second [Bm]
time [E] around.
[A]
[G#] [F#m]
[A]
[D] I'm sure [Bm]
[E]
[F#m]
I know I can borrow a
[C#m] smoke, or sit here all night [E] long and tell a joke.
[F#m] But after all is said and [F#] [B] done, he's gonna laugh, [D] he's gonna laugh at a broken, [E] a broken heart.
[A] I've been drinking [E] again, [F#m]
and thinking of [A] when,
[D] of when you left [Bm] me, and that was so long [B] ago.
[E] I've [A] been having a few, you know that you,
[F#m] and wishing that [A] you,
[D] were right by my [Bm] side.
[D]
Now [E] listen one time.
[A] I've been drinking [D] again, [A] I've been drinking [D] again,
[A]
sometimes I can't [F] help myself.
[G] [A]
