(Capo on 2)
Yeah, (D)this time it's it, I'm callin' it quits, I'm not turnin' her on anymore
She packed up the same ol' stuff and slammed the same ol' door
And I said, good-(G)bye, she said, to hell with (D)you
(D)She'll be shocked when I change the locks and throw pictures in a box
Light 'em up in the backyard, have myself a bonfire and watch that son of a b***h
Burn a-(G)way to the ground just like every-(D)hing
(Chorus)
That's just what you (Bm)do when you're at the (A)bottom
It sure could drain a (G) man --- about as empty as these (D)beer cans
If you (D)ask me why I took her back the last half dozen times
I'd tell you that I don't know, but I must've been outta my mind
But the end is (G)here, it's a little fuzzy, but I see it clear (D)
(Chorus)
That's just what you (Bm)do when you're at the (A)bottom
It sure could drain a (G) man --- about as empty as these (D)beer cans
Yeah, I'm gonna put in (G)work, I'll tough it out and I'll be al-(Bm)-right and live it up
(A) The powers in my (G)hand and the answer's in these (D)beer cans, yeah
Solo:  |(G) |(G) |(D) |(D) | x 2
(Chorus)
That's just what you (Bm)do when you're at the (A)bottom
It sure could drain a (G) man --- about as empty as these (D)beer cans
As empty as these (G)beer cans, oh, I'm a little drunk (D)
But things are lookin' up, (G) yeah, with all these empty (D)beer cans
Aw better clean 'em up, (G) oh, that's all I (D) know

Yeah, 'at's just what you (Bm)do when you're at the (A)bottom
