Drunk Again

William Clark Green


Tom: Em

Em    C    G
Em    C    G


[Verse]
Em
The phone rings
C             G
I don't wanna talk to you
G                       Em
Don't you know that I'm trying my best
C            G
To keep it between the lines
G                        Em
I never thought it would hurt so bad
C                     G
I never knew it would kick my ass
G              Em
I called you a bitch one time
C                 G
I wish I never had


[Verse]
G                  Em
If the river was a highway
C                G
Going to another town
G               Em
White lines and by-ways
         C               G
Snort it up and drink it down
G     Em
I got checks that bounce
C                  G
You moved out on a house that's foreclosed now
G        Em
And keep wondering how
Em     D
I keep wondering why


[Chorus]
D               C     G
Why I'm getting drunk again
G                C      G
Get three sheets to the wind
G                Em
Write two sheets full of hymns
        D
I don't understand it
C      G
All my friends
G                        C      G
They've moved on and are having kids
G                  Em
They all ask how I live like this
   D
So now I'm wondering
C
Why I'm getting drunk again


[Verse]
G                 Em
I remember it was just a game
C           G
Back in our younger days
G               Em
We held on to a hurricane
C                 G
And then I drowned
G
If you're water
    Em
I'm gasoline
C                G
Mixed in a way I never seen
G                       Em
I never thought I could be so mean
C       G
As I am now


[Chorus]
G                     C     G
I guess I'm gonna get drunk again
G                C      G
Get three sheets to the wind
G                Em
Write two sheets full of hymns
        D
I don't understand it
C      G
All my friends
G                        C      G
They've moved on and are having kids
G                  Em
They all ask how I live like this
   D
So now I'm wondering
C
Why I'm getting drunk again


[Break]
C   D   Em   D   C   Em


[Chorus]
D         C     G
Gonna get drunk again
G                C      G
Get three sheets to the wind
G                Em
Write two sheets full of hymns
        D
I don't understand it
C      G
All my friends
G                        C      G
They've moved on and are having kids
G                  Em
They all ask how I live like this

So now I'm wondering
C               C     G
Why I'm getting drunk again


[Chorus]
G                C      G
Get three sheets to the wind

Write two sheets full of hymns
        D
I don't understand it
C      G
All my friends
G                        C      G
They've moved on and are having kids
G                  Em
They all ask how I live like this

So now I'm wondering
C
Why I'm getting drunk again
