          C#
Well you told me you would leave me
If I couldn't give up drinking
                                   G#
Well baby here's me showing you I can
And it may not be conventional
It's a more or less medicinal
                               C#
Way to say that I'm an honest man

C#
You said that I'd never
                       G#
Well look at me right now
'Cause I'm faded off ten milligrams
With a freshly rolled one in my hand
                                          C#
And I'm sliding off this broken pull-out couch

Chorus:
 C#
Hey I'm getting stoned
In this cold house here all alone
                                    F#
Wishing on a half-smoked four-leaf clover
    D#m
I'm in and out of codeine dreams
     G#
And ain't drank whiskey in a week
     D#m
But honey,
     G#           C#   C#
I'm anything but sober

Well I tried going to some meetings
But I only end up meeting folks like me
Who have a need for getting high
And I swear I'll never drink again
And that bottles just a long-lost friend
But that devil likes to keep me by his side

Chorus

And you said that I'd never
Take a look at me right now
'Cause I'm caught between these two white lines
But they'll be gone here in no time
I've been trying to prove
a point since you walked out

Chorus

Come on

Chorus
