She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted

When I quench my thirst with her waters

As I lay down to sleep

she lays a bottle at my feet

D Em

knowing when I wake up I'll be shaking

the sun comes through the window

she opens up the bottle

she feeds me my medicine again

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted

When I quench my thirst with her waters

D C

it's the sweetest I have ever tasted

I can't stay clean long

C G

I hope she is not angry anymore

She's cranky when she's sober

so sweet when she's wasted
