Jason Boland - Drinkin Song

      [Intro]
A

[Verse]
A                       D
Jesus has my heart, but whiskey's got my liver,
E                            A
Floatin' through life like a raft on a river.
  D                       A
I know what's right and I know what's wrong,
  E                            
I know how to quit but now its been too long.
         A                D
Just the other day, I was thinkin' to myself,
   E                        A
At least I still think to myself.
     D                  A
Well everything works except me of course,
  E                    A
I still got some of my health.

[Chorus]
       D                   A
Well I grit my teeth and I wish,
        E                   A
I could stand up and ram my fist
      D                      A        B7         E
Right through this wall that keeps on keepin' me in.
      A              D         E                 A
I got sober, now its over, I'm back to drinkin' again.

[Verse]
                      D
See the time before I quit,
       E                      A
I quit quittin' the very next day.
D                   A                     
So many times, hell I lost count,
  E                        A
I guess it just works that way.
                                 D
See I forgot how it felt to feel good in the mornin',
E                          A
Mornin's were for goin' to bed.
        D                           A
And I'd roll out the rack, a monkey on my back,
         E                A
I need a drink to ease my head.

[Chorus]
       D                   A
Well I grit my teeth and I wish,
        E                   A
I could stand up and ram my fist
      D                      A        B7         E
Right through this wall that keeps on keepin' me in.
      A              D             E                 A
I got sober, now its over, and its back to drinkin' again.

[Instrumental]
D  A  E  A  D  A  B7  E  A  D  E  A   

[Verse]
    A                           D
See I'm not saying that its the right way,
E                             A
Hell, its really no way at all.
        D                                   A
But you know, it seems like I'm never gonna get too tired,
E                    A
 Of feelin' ten feet tall.
                                   D
So you may wanna watch what you're doin',
          E                        A
Or better yet you can just watch me.
    D                   A
And its not always entertaining,
                     E                     A
But you get what you pay for, and baby its free.

[Chorus/Outro]
       D                   A
Well I grit my teeth and I wish,
        E                   A
I could stand up and ram my fist
      D                      A        B7         E
Right through this wall that keeps on keepin' me in.
      A              D             E                 A
I got sober, now its over, and its back to drinkin' again.
       D                   A
Yeah I grit my teeth and I wish,
        E                   A
I could stand up and ram my fist
      D                      A        B7         E
Right through this wall that keeps on keepin' me in.
      A              D             E                 A
I got sober, now its over, and its back to drinkin' again.
                     D             E                 A             
I got sober, now its over, and its back to drinkin' again.
