Key: D

Introduction:

       C           Am       F                           G                         Am         C 
When I drink,     I say things I don't wanna say
 F                         G                         C     C/B       Am 
I do things i don't   wanna do
 F                           G 
I talk mean to you.
 C                 Am         F                                 G                                     Am         C 
But if I think,     I just might get something out of this
 F                                             G                         C     C/B     Am 
My parents taught me to learn   when i miss
 F                       G 
Just do your best.
 Am                     C 
Just do your best.
     Em                                                     Dm 
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
 Am                                             G 
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
       F                                                           G 
at least a little better than I've been so far.
 C                         Am       F                                       G                             Am         C 
  But when I drink,     I hear things that aren't really there
 F                                           G                             C       C/B     Am 
I feel things when i shouldn't   really care
           F                                       G 
Have fist fights with the air.
 C                       Am     F                           G                 Am           C 
  But if I think,     about someone besides myself
 F                                         G                       C     C/B     Am 
I lived through the silver and the bell
 F                               G 
With something to tell
 Am                       C 
  Just do your best
     Em                                                     Dm 
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
 Am                                             G 
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
       F                                                           G 
at least a little better than I've been so far.
 C                       Am         F                               G                         Am         C 
  But when I drink,     I spend the next morning in a haze
 F                       G                   C     C/B     Am 
But we only get so many days
 F                           G 
Now I have one less
 Am                   C 
Just do your best.
     Em                                                     Dm 
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
 Am                                             G 
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
       F                                                           G 
at least a little better than I've been so far.
             F                                                             G                             C 
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.
