 A
Feels like a Friday night 
             F#m                    G
But it's only Monday afternoon 
                       D
Still there's a party goin' on in my livin' room 
A
It's just me and fifth of Beam 
F#m                                         G
Swayin' to the sounds of old George Jones 
                         D
And it won't be long 'til the whole damn bottle's gone 

A                                          F#m 
And I know it might sound sad 
                                                  G
But to tell the truth it ain't half bad 

I love my misery 
              D
Gonna drown my blues in a sea of whiskey 

          E       A
I'm drinkin' again 
 D       E                                    A
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in 


                D                   C#m                 Bm
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin' in 
                  G                                D
Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn 
                      A        F#m          G       D
I'm drinkin' again 

A
I've got no friends to call 
F#m                                                         G
They've all straightened up and settled down 
        D
And they don't ever wanna hang around 
A
But I guess I understand 
F#m                                        G 
This house ain't much for company 
                        D
Smells like a cesspool here 

It's stinkin' nasty 
A
And you might say I'm bad off 
F#m                                             G
But I chose the road I strumbled across 
 
I picked my poison 
D
Give me another shot of bourbon 
                  E         A
Cause I'm drinkin' again 
D        E                                  A 
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in 


                D                C#m                  Bm         A
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in 
                  G                             D
Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn 
                    A
I'm drinkin' again 
          A
Well fortunately for me I find relief 
                     F#m  
When the world is weighin' down on me 
             G
I pop a top, I take a shot, I drop a pill 
               D
Turn the radio up, sit back and chill 
A
Pretend my life is a bed of roses 
F#m
Try not to notice all the ghosts 
                 G
That are hauntin me and tauntin me 
                            D
And wantin me to cut my wrists 

So they can watch me bleed 
        A    
And laugh at me, as I scream in agony 
F#m
I get high for the sake of my family 
                  G
Cause the alcohol is all that's helpin me 
      D
To cope since I went broke and lost my hope 
A
I kicked my girl to the curb of the road 
                    F#m
You know I couldn't afford to support us both 
         G
Hell I'm not rich, don't have a good job 
       D
Do construction work with this dude named Bob 
                    A
And he's an ass. Yells at me all the time 
            F#m 
Pays minimum wage on overtime 
               G
Still he's got it made, drives an Escalade 
               D
And gets two hundred times what I get paid 
                    A
But that's okay. 

I'll drink to his health and ruin mine 
F#m 
I'll chug liquor and he can sip red wine 
                G
And I'll be fine. Trying to find some peace 
               D
I'll quit payin' my rent and I'll break my lease 
             A
I'll live out on the streets and beg for change 
F#m
Crawl in a box when it starts to rain 
      G
Forget my family and my friends 
                  D
Forget the world, ya'll, I'm drinkin' again 
         E       A
I'm drinkin' again 

D        E                                    A
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in 
               D                  C#m                  Bm        A
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in 
                  G                       D
Sure, it's a sin, but I done lost control 
              A 
And I'm drinkin' again y'all 
      F#m               G    D      
I'm drinkin' again 
                   A
I'm drinkin' again... 
                            F#m  
I done said goodbye 
                              G               D
To the twelve-step program 
         A
I'm drinkin' again...
