D                    G              A
At a bar in a town that I sure won't remember.
Bm                           G            A
Next time September will show her cruel face
       D                       G          A
I will race to the bottle of every glass
      Bm                            G
And I hope that these drinks have a shot at replacing
    Em                         A                        D    G    A
The things that I lost on the way that I took to this place


[Chorus]
                         D         G
So give me one shot of whiskey
                D            G
Two lines of cocaine
               D                      Bm                       A
And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way
                     D            G
And if you see my brother
                     D            G
Please tell him I'm fine
              D                    Bm
Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas
                           A
Though I'm not sure quite why
      Bm                   D                    G
Mercy me, oh my god, I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind


[Verse]
  D                    G              A
It was hard it was dark I was starved for attention
Bm                           G            A
I was seeking redemption or a face that I know
        D                       G          A
If there's one thing I've learned as I pass through the seasons
      Bm                            G
To not "what you reap what you sow"
    Em                         A                        D    G    A
It's that get what you give if you're lucky but mostly you don't.


[Chorus]
                         D         G
So give me one shot of whiskey
                D            G
Two lines of cocaine
               D                      Bm                       A
And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way
                     D            G
And if you see my brother
                     D            G
Please tell him I'm fine
              D                    Bm
Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas
                           A
Though I'm not sure quite why
      Bm                   D                    G
Mercy me, oh my god, I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind


[Verse]
            Em
I feel like a snowball in hell
      Bm              A
cuz I aint gonna last very long
        Em
Or a Liberty Bell
Bm                      A
got cracked on its very first song.
        Em                Bm
It would be easy to add all the things I've done right
      D                       G
hard to count all the ones I've done wrong
    Em             A
where does the time go?
                 D   G   A
where has it gone?


[Chorus]
                         D         G
So give me one shot of whiskey
                D            G
Two lines of cocaine
               D                      Bm                       A
And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way
                     D            G
And if you see my brother
                     D            G
Please tell him I'm fine
              D                    Bm
Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas
                           A
Though I'm not sure quite why
      Bm                   D                    G
Mercy me, oh my god, I'm afraid that I'm losing my min    
 
 Bm                   D                    G
Mercy me, oh my god, I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind
