When I Drink Beer

       E                     
When I drink beer I know what 
 B
happens
              C#m                  
I’ve seen it happen a hundred times
 A
 before
        E                     
I tell myself I’ll just have a 
 B
couple
                 A     B          
And I’ll have a couple and a 
   E
couple more

         E                   B
By that 5th one I’m holding my phone
                C#m                
Looking through pictures of me and 
 A
you
        E                          
Then I sit there and stare at your 
 B
number
            A        B             E
Thinking a shouldn’t but I always do

 B   E   A
Oohhhhh you don’t always answer
 B         E             A
Ohhh it’s better if you don’t
    B  E   A
Cuz oohhhh I can just keep drinking

(Crawl in a cab and head back home

          E              B
When you answer it gets messed up
             C#m                   
Cuz you get dressed up and meet me 
 A
here
            E             B
I know its only cuz your lonely
                A      B          
But that don’t matter when I drink
  E
 beer

Solo: E, B, C#m, A

 B  E   A
Oohhhh Layin’ there beside you
 B      E               A
Ohhh I know it’s gonna hurt
     B   E  A
Cuz oohhhh there ain’t nothing 
better
 F#m                            
Than holding you but there ain’t 
          B
nothing worse

        E                       B
When I wake up and that bed is empty
                C#m                
That pain will hit me cuz you ain’t
  A
 there
         E                    B
I still want you but I can’t have 
you
                A        B        
And If I can’t have you I just 
     E
want a beer

              E              B
Right now I’m thirsty for a cold one
              C#m                  
As much as I want one I’m steering 
 A
clear
               E                B
Cuz I’m still hurting from the last 
time
                 A        B       
And it’s been a long time since I 
       E
drank beer

              E                    
So I’ll take water or maybe coke a 
 B
cola
                 A      B         
Cuz I know what happens when I 
    E
drink beer
