 (I drink...thirsty)      (I drink...dry)
I drink cause I'm Amthirsty
I drink cause I'm Gdry
I'm not yet quite Amthirty
But I feel like I'm Gdying
I drink cause I want Amto, cause I Gneed to,
Cause I Amdon't know B7what else to Emdo
With my F#7time, I won't Csay it
You can Dsee it in my Geyes.D  G  
(Same chords)
You drink cause you're lonely
You drink cause you're sad
You always claim every party
Was the best time you've ever had
You drink cause you're scared of
A life of living off your own company
You won't say it but I can see it in your eyes.

DmWhich I would've CwishedC11  
When I was Gyoung
(Same chords)
Drink has drunk my days away
I tried to live like Hemingway
Life just doesn't work that way
Pills don't kill the pain
They just delay
(Back to Verse Chords)
We drink cause we're scared that
If we should stop
The good times will go away
But the bad times will not
What if it's over and we're sober
And we still feel like we're fixing to die
What then?
Don't say it cause I can see it in your eyes
