D                              G                                                 D  
Just because I drink more than I used to
                                                  A7                                      D            D7  
Doesn't mean that you're the one to blame
G                                                                                      D  
Just because I come home a little later every night
E7                                                                              A7  
Doesn't mean that I'm living in shame
                          D                                 G                                            D  
Lord it's not you, it's me that should be sorry
                                        A7                                    D                 D7  
I've neglected you more than I should
G                                                                      D  
You say we can work it out together
E7                                                              A7  
It would be so easy if we could
          G                                                                            D  
But how can I explain the way I'm feelin'
                                                     A7                                    D                 D7  
I've always kept my feelings locked inside
             G                                                              D  
It's easier to tell them to a stranger
          E7                                                                                         A7  
And drinking seems to soothe my wounded mind
                D                    G                                              D  
Maybe someday I'll be the way you want me
                                                             A7                            D                 D7  
It seems I've let this bottle take command
G                                                                                              D  
You say you don't think it holds the answer
                  A7                                                                      C    G    D  
Oh but sometimes it helps me be a man
