Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart
G7 Am G/B C
Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart
G D7 G D7
And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink
E7b9 Am G/B
I wish you'd a known her, we were quite a pair
C G/B Am D7
She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer
G D7 G D7
So welcome to the continuing saga
E7b9 Am G/B
She was my better half and I was just a dog
C G/B Am
And so here I am slumped, I've been chipped
D7 E7b9
I've been chumped on my stool
Am G/B C
So buy this fool some spirits and libations
G Am D7 E7b9
It's these railroad station bars
Am G/B
And all these conductors and the porters
C G
And I'm all out of quarters
Gsus4 D7 Gsus4 D7
And this epitaph is the af – ter – math
Gsus4 G/B Am/C G/B
Yeah, I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath
Am D7 E7b9
He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya
Am D7 Am D7
No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell
Am D7 Am D7
And some guy's trying to sell me a watch
Am D7 E7b9
And so I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch
Am G/B
I got me a bottle and a dream
C G
It's so maudlin it seems
G D7 Am
You can name your poison, go on ahead and make some noise
D7 E7b9 Am
I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase
G/B C G
It's a rental and it's purgatory
Am D7 Am
And hey, what's your story, well, I don't even care
D7 E7b9 Am G/B C G Am G/B C G
'Cause I got my own double-cross to bear
G D7 G7 Am
And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more
G D7 G D7
And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more
G G D7
'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames
E7b9 Am G/B C G
It ain't like asbestos, it don't do nothing but rest us assured
Am D7 G
