D G

G
He?d get home at five-thirty
                                C
Fix a drink and sit down in his chair
D
Pick a fight with momma
                                       G
Complain about the kids gettin? in his hair
At night he?d sit alone and smoke
                                      C
I?d see his frown behind the lighters flame
         D
Now that same frowns in my mirror
                                 G
I got my daddy?s blood inside my veins.

[Chorus]
     G           C
Fish swim, birds fly
        D             G
Daddys? yell, mommas? cry
                C  B  A D
Old men sit and think
  G
I Drink.

G
Chicken TV dinner
                                C
Six minutes on defrost three on high
D
Beer to wash it down then another
                    G
Some whiskey on the side
It?s not so bad alone here
                              C/G        C
It don?t bother me that every nights the same
        D
I don?t need another lover hangin? around
                  G
Tryin? to make me change.

[Chorus]
G           C
Fish swim, birds fly
       D             G
Lovers leave, by and by
                C  B  A D
Old men sit and think
  G
I Drink.

  Bm           C
I know, what I am
    Bm       C      D
But I don?t, give a damn.

[Chorus 1]
G C  B  A D
  G
I Drink.
