Tuning: Standard (Capo 1) - Also sounds okay with no capo
It's Chard staying sober when Fyou ain't staying over
It's Ceasy gettin' messed up on the Gtruth
It's Chard standing here watchin' Ftaillights disappear
It's Chard staying sober when I'm Ggetting over Cyou
It's Chard to leave the house when Fall I think about
Is Chow hard it might be to come back Ghome
I wait Chere and watch the rain when you Fcome back for all your things
CYou get what you want and then you'll goG  
It's Chard staying sober when Fyou ain't staying over
It's Ceasy gettin' messed up on the Gtruth
It's Chard standing here watchin' Ftaillights disappear
It's Chard staying sober when I'm Ggetting over Cyou
It's Chard to quit this smokin' when my Fwill to fight is broken
It's Chard to quit a habit in a Grush
When I Cwake up in the morning, just like Fyou I'm lookin' for 'em
CCan't seem to put down this pick me Gup
It's Chard staying sober when Fyou ain't staying over
It's Ceasy gettin' messed up on the Gtruth
It's Chard standing here watchin' Ftaillights disappear
It's Chard staying sober when I'm Ggetting over Cyou
It's Chard staying sober when I'm Ggetting over Cyou
Why you think the world Cdrinks?
Why you think the world Fsmokes?
Why do you think we all Csit around and Ftell a bunch of dirty Gjokes
SomeCbody somewhere is out havin' a ball
And someFbody's sittin' 'round heart broke
Why you think we all Cdrink?G  
Why you think we all Csmoke?
Why you think we all Cdrink?G  
Why you think we all Csmoke?
Note: There is a little instrumental break between the last part and the tag. Just vamp with the same chords
and you should be fine. There is also an outro which should also just use the same chords.
