Drunk Girl

[Verse 1]
C
Couple cover charge stamps got her hand looking like a rainbow
G
In and out of every bar on a whim just like the wind blows
      Am
She's either a bachelorette or coming off a breakup
F
Take a drunk girl home
C
She's bouncing like a pinball

Singing every word she never knew
G
Dancing with her eyes closed like she's the only one in the room
Am
But her hair is a perfect mess, falling out of that dress
F
Take a drunk girl home


[Chorus]
C
Take a drunk girl home
                     Am
Let her sleep all alone
                      F                                  G
Leave her keys on the counter, your number by the phone
             C                     Am
Pick up her life she threw on the floor
                       F                             G
Leave the hall lights on, walk out and lock the door
                   Dm                                 G
That's how she knows the difference between a boy and man
                        C
Take a drunk girl home


[Verse 2]
C
You leave her drive for a dive and you get something bad to eat
        G
They're singing "Closing Time" at that little bar across the street
Am                                                                     F
In two by twos, strangers and lovers headed for the covers, hooking up
     C
That TV in your two bedroom sounds turned off
                G
And through the paper-thin walls, you can hear the neighbors cigarette cough
          Am                                                                         F
There's a million things you could be doing, but there's one thing you're damn sure glad you did


[Chorus]
C
Take a drunk girl home
                      Am
Let her sleep all alone
                      F                                 G
Leave her keys on the counter, your number by the phone
            C                     Am
Pick up her life she threw on the floor
                       F                             G
Leave the hall lights on, walk out and lock the door
                  Dm                                 G
That's how you know the difference in a boy and man
                        C
You take a drunk girl home


[Interlude]
C Am F G C


[Chorus 2]
C
Took a drunk girl home
                         Am
In the sober light of dawn
               F                              G
She left you a message, she thanks you on the phone
                        C                      Am
Cause you picked up her life she threw on the floor
                          F                                 G
You left the hall lights on, walked out and locked the door
               Dm                                     G
That's how she knows the difference between a boy and man
                        C
Take a drunk girl home
                       Am
You take a drunk girl home
                  F     C
Take a drunk girl home
