Gb FOUR_MAJOR

I

woke

up

this

morinin'

and

I

Db ONE_MAJOR

swore

to

God

I'd

never,

Ebm TWO_MINOR

ever

take

another

drink

a-

Db ONE_MAJOR

gain.

I

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

fought

it

like

the

devil

but

you

Db ONE_MAJOR

know

that

you're

in

trouble

when

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

you're

four-

teen

and

drunk

by

10

A

Db ONE_MAJOR

M

tried to

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

hide

it

from

my

mom

and

dad

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

all

my

friends

said

straighten

up

Db ONE_MAJOR

I

just

laughed,

said

you

don't

under-

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

stand

that's a

Db ONE_MAJOR

hell

of a

lot

to

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

ask

of a

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

drinkin'

man.

Db ONE_MAJOR

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

sixteen

I

was

on

my

own

and

Db ONE_MAJOR

flyin'

high

and

staying

stoned

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

I

knew

every-

thing

there

was

to

Db ONE_MAJOR

know.

I did

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

things

that

I

can't

talk

about

I

Db ONE_MAJOR

wore

my

mom

and

daddy

out.

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

Late

nights

they

spent

prayin'

for

my

Db ONE_MAJOR

soul.

Stayed

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

sober

once

for

nine

days

in

a

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

row.

I

quit

cold

turkey.

Db ONE_MAJOR

Damn

near

almost

made

it

to

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

ten.

That's a

Db ONE_MAJOR

hell

of a

lot

to

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

ask

of a

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

drinkin'

man.

Db ONE_MAJOR

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

don't

know

when

or

where

it

was,

or

Db ONE_MAJOR

how

we

met

and

fell

in

love.

Or

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

Db ONE_MAJOR

why

she'd

even

fall

for a

guy

like

Db ONE_MAJOR

me.

I

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

tried

to

pull

my-

self

to-

geth-

er

Db ONE_MAJOR

hop-

in'

we

could

last

for-

ever.

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

For

a

while

I

start-

ed

to

be-

Db ONE_MAJOR

lieve.

Her

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

dad-

dy

said,

"She's

all

I

got.

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

Son

don't

ever

break

her

heart.

Db ONE_MAJOR

Prom-

ise

me

be-

fore

you

take

her

Gb FOUR_MAJOR

hand."

But that's

Db ONE_MAJOR

just

too

much

to

Ab FIVE_MAJOR

ask

of a

Db ONE_MAJOR

drinkin'

man.
