[Verse 1]
                         G         G                      Am        Am
I only miss you when I'm drinkin',   otherwise, I'm doin' fine,
                  D          D                   G         G
your memory don't   creep in   if I keep a sober   mind.
         D/F#                 Em        Em                         A     A
Ain't at all like what you're thinkin',   the honest truth is I'm okay,
                         C        D                            G      G
I only miss you when I'm drinkin'  and I'm only drinkin' every day.

                              G        G                              Am        Am
So-called friends who say I'm   lyin',   that I'm still floatin' in a funk,
                          D         D                           G         G
and that they only see me   cryin',   they only see me when I'm   drunk.
       D/F#             Em        Em                              A     A
So, no matter what they tell you,   you can't believe a word they   say,
                         C         D                         G      G
I only miss you when I'm drinkin',   I'm only drinkin' every   day.

[Bridge]
C              G                Am      D7      G
  That whiskey hits my lips and my head feels a buzz,
C                     G               Am                    D      N.C.
  I close my eyes and taste your kiss   and miss the way it was.

[Verse 3]
                         G         G                        Am        Am
When my telephone starts   ringin'   you ain't on the other end,
                   D       D                           G         G
my heart'll get to sinkin'   but only nine times outta   ten.
            D/F#             Em         Em                                A     A
And I might have a hard time   sleepin'   but I've come such a long, long   way,
                         C         D                         Em      A
I only miss you when I'm drinkin',   I'm only drinkin' every day.
                         C         D                         G
I only miss you when I'm drinkin',   I'm only drinkin' every day.
