G              Em6

         D             Em

  G                     D

[Verse]
G                     D

    G               D
Murphy Road in our old house
      G                 D     
After three or four boy friends 
                   Em

   Em6

[Bridge]
D Em G

[Chorus]
D                 Em             
Whiskey aint been on my breath, 
      G           D
but it stays on my mind
D                Em              
And I aint had a steady hand in 
      G         Em6
such a long long time
D              Em                 
The devil that lived in me passed 
G            D
on this past June
D                Em              
When my very own flesh and blood 
      G       A7   D
said "Daddy I hate you"

[Verse]
      G           D              
These days I'm on time and I get 
G                     D
where I'm supposed to be
        G              D           
I don't sleep away the daylight or 
Em           Em6
embarrass my family
    G               D         
His Mom and him are doing great 
          Bm         A      G
without that drunk S.O.B.
D                                
That's whats going on these days 
A7                 D
in my life without me

[Verse]
       Bm                  A      
And we think with all this taking 
      G              D
man I wouldn't wanna steal
         Bm               A  
But with everything in my life 
                  G             
that's changed, I know one thing 
         Em6
never will
D              Em           G    
Hey my name is Michael, and I'm an 
  D
alcoholic
D             Em               G
Trying not to live the rest of 
       A7
my life without me
