Fm
Let me make one thing clear
 C#                    A#m
You can buy me a beer, but you ain't taking me home
Fm                   C#                   A#m
No pick up lines, I came here tonight to shed
a few tears on my own
     Fm
But sitting there across the room
   C#                           A#m
I couldn't help but notice you seemed a little
down on your love too
          Fm
Yeah, my heart might be breaking
       C#
But, this seat ain't taken
      A#m
And you've got me thinkin'

Chorus:
                        Fm      C#
We should be drinkin' alone, together
              A#m
Drownin' the pain is better
      C       Fm
With somebody else who got problems
    C#
We ain't gonna solve 'em
    A#m                C
But misery loves company
               Fm          C#
Tonight all I need is a stranger
              A#m         C
Lips with a whiskey chaser
       Fm                   C#
And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that
      A#m
he's gone
 C                      Fm  C#  A#m
We should be drinking alone
               C        Fm  C#  A#m   C
We should be drinkin' alone, together

I don't know what she did to make you
hurt like this
But, I know just what to do
It starts with a bottle of good Reposado
And ends with a shooter or two
Tomorrow when the sun comes up,
tonight’s the night that never was
Baby, just forget my name
Won't be your one and only, but just
'cause we're lonely
Don't mean that we should

Chorus:
We should be drinkin' alone
'Cause drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems,
we ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss to make me
forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone (Together)
Maybe we shouldn't be drinkin' alone
(We should be drinkin' alone)
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone
Baby, we shouldn't be drinkin' alone

         C#
I'll pretend that I care
Baby, pull up a chair
            A#m                       C
We'll stay here 'til they make us go home
              Fm        C#   A#m
We should be drinking alone

Chorus:
We should be drinkin' alone
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone, together
Drownin' the pain is better
With somebody else who got problems,
we ain't gonna solve 'em
But misery loves company
Tonight all I need is a stranger
Lips with a whiskey chaser
And a corner booth kiss to make me
forget that he's gone
Oh, we should be drinkin' alone
 (Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone), together
Maybe we shouldn't be drinkin' alone
(We should be drinkin' alone)
Drinkin' alone, drinkin' alone
Baby, we shouldn't be drinking alone
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

We should be drinkin' alone
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
