C C      Am Am     F F              G G            Am Am   C C  
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F F G G C C Am Am
I do things I don't wanna do
F F G G
I talk mean to you.
C C Am Am F F G G Am Am C C
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
F F G G C C Am Am
My parents taught me to learn when I miss
F F G G
Just do your best.
Am Am C C
Just do your best.

Em Em F F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am Am G G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F F G G
At least a little better than I've been so far.

C C Am Am F F G G Am Am C C
But when I drink, I hear things that aren't really there
F F G G C C Am Am
I feel things when I shouldn't really care
F F G G
Have fist fights with the air.
C C Am Am F F G G Am Am C C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F F G G C C Am Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F F G G
With something to tell
Am Am C C
Just do your best

Em Em F F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am Am G G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F F G G
At least a little better than I've been so far.

C C Am Am F F G G Am Am C C
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F F G G C C Am Am
But we only get so many days
F F G G
Now I have one less
Am Am C C
Just do your best.

Em Em F F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am Am G G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F F G G
At least a little better than I've been so far.
F F G G C C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.
