Drinkin Again Tab

*** An awesome song pretty easy to play took me a minute to figure it out *




Capo 4

Intro

            

        
Feels like a Friday night 
                       
But it's only Monday afternoon
                 
Still there's a party goin' on in my livin' room 

It's just me and fifth of Beam 
                          
Swayin' to the sounds of old George Jones
                
And it won't be long 'til the whole damn bottle's gone 

                         
And I know it might sound sad 
                                    
But to tell the truth it ain't half bad
 
I love my misery 
                                        
Gonna drown my blues in a sea of whiskey 


             
I'm drinkin' again 
                               
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in 
                                                  
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin' in
                                    
Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn
                          
I'm drinkin' again 



I've got no friends to call 
                                     
They've all straightened up and settled down
     
And they don't ever wanna hang around 

But I guess I understand 
                            
This house ain't much for company 
              
Smells like a cesspool here, It's stinkin' nasty 
 

And you might say I'm bad off 
                               
But I chose the road I strumbled across
                   
I picked my poison Give me another shot of bourbon 

                   
Cause I'm drinkin' again
                                
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in
                                                  
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in 
                                   
Sure, it's a sin but I don't really give a damn
               
I'm drinkin' again 

     
Well fortunately for me I find relief
          
When the world is weighin' down on me 
        
I pop a top, I take a shot, I drop a pill
          
Turn the radio up, sit back and chill
 
Pretend my life is a bed of roses 

Try not to notice all the ghosts
          
That are hauntin me and tauntin me 
                 
And wantin me to cut my wrists 

So they can watch me bleed
    
And laugh at me, as I scream in agony 

I get high for the sake of my family 
          
Cause the alcohol is all that's helpin me 
   
To cope since I went broke and lost my hope 

I kicked my girl to the curb of the road 
           
You know I couldn't afford to support us both 
     
Hell I'm not rich, don't have a good job 
   
Do construction work with this dude named Bob
              
And he's an ass. Yells at me all the time 
     
Pays minimum wage on overtime
            
Still he's got it made, drives an Escalade 
         
And gets two hundred times what I get paid 
              
But that's okay. 
                                      
I'll drink to his health and ruin mine 

I'll chug liquor and he can sip red wine 
            
And I'll be fine. Trying to find some peace 
          
I'll quit payin' my rent and I'll break my lease
           
I'll live out on the streets and beg for change 

Crawl in a box when it starts to rain 
   
Forget my family and my friends 
           
Forget the world, ya'll, I'm drinkin' again 

             
I'm drinkin' again
                                
Tryin' hard to hide the pain I'm in
                                                 
So don't give me any shit, I know just what I'm gettin in
                             
Sure, it's a sin, but I done lost control 
               
And I'm drinkin' again y'all 
                    
I'm drinkin' again 

I'm drinkin' again

I'm drinkin' again
              
I'm drinkin' again

                
I done said goodbye
                             
To the twelve-step program 

I'm drinkin' again
    
I'm drinkin'
