::Verse #1::
G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
G#min
When they’re strapping you down inside your own head
G#min
So you hang out with the man on the moon
But why does the morning have to come too soon?
C#min
When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic
C#min
All your radio is picking up is cheap static
C#min
So you reach beneath your front seat
C#min
For the taste of something sweet
::Chorus::
G#min
Well, just remember what the drowning man said
G#min G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
G#min
C#min
Before you put the gun to your head
C#min
Remember what the drowning man said
C#min C#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Verse #2::
G#min
G#min
G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
G#min
When you’re tripping down the path that you were led
G#min
When your ass has been slapped by too many doors
G#min
And you think of all the good things you can’t afford
C#min
You can’t find a good woman can’t find a good job
C#min
You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob
C#min
You just can’t swallow all the shit you’ve been fed
C#min
Been punched in the eye so much you only see red
::Chorus::
G#min
But before you put that gun to your head
G#min B G#min B G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
C#min
Remember what the drowning man said
C#min E C#min
Before you put the gun to your head
C#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Instrumental Solo::
G#min (2x)
C#min (4x)
::Verse #3::
G#min
A little lost is better than found
G#min
When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground
G#min
But someone’s always there to lend you a hand
G#min
But too late you’re already neck deep in quick sand
C#min
And you’re sprawled out on some floor
C#min
Some one call for help "Is he alive? We’re not sure"
C#min
Everybody’s screaming, everyone’s in a panic
C#min
But you, your face is peaceful like it’s plastic
G#min
And as they roll him away on the stretcher
G#min G#min
We knew that he’d be drunk forever
G#min
I guess a little drunk is better
G#min G#min
::Chorus::
C#min
Before you put the gun to your head
C#min E C#min
Remember what the drowning man said
C#min C#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
C#min C#min
C#min G#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
G#min G#min G#min
