::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
