 E        B              E
I get drunk and talk to God
 E                  B                   E
I say I'm sorry for all the things I'm not
           A
And I mean every word I say
        E                A
And I promise I can change
     E         B                E
When I get drunk and talk to God

When I talk to God I tell him why we're through
I tell him all the things I did and didn't do
I'll say, "I can't be alone"
And he'll say, "Son, you're on your own"
'Cause when I talk to God I tell him why we're
through

Chorus:
   B
I wish that I could go to church but
    A                 E
I'm too ashamed of me
   B                                  A
I hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me
          E
on my knees
       E                                          A
And I hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot
     E       B                E
When I get drunk and talk to God

When I talk to God I thank him for the time
All those precious years that you were mine,
all mine
I know he's a busy man, he'll help me if he can
So when I talk to God I thank him for the time

Chorus

Oh, when I get drunk and talk to God
