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
