[Verse 1]
Well, I’ve been thinking while you’ve been Cdrinking

But I’ve been hoping to get this out in the Copen
And Dhoping we ain’t Crunning out of GtimeB7

The book I’ve been reading says we Cneed to work this Gout
We need to Ctalk about our Gproblems if we've Dgot ‘em
CI think I’ve got a drinkin’ Gproblem
[Verse 2]
I can’t hardly get out of bed, I can’t hardly Cclear my head
Of Dlast night’s spinning, Csmoky memoGries
I call in sick to work, I tell ‘em my whole Cbody hurts
Yeah, I think this Ddrinking just might Cbe the death of GmeB7

We need to Ctalk about our Gproblems if we've Dgot ‘em
CI think I’ve got a drinkin’ Gproblem

COh baby, you can’t claim this Gfor your own
CI swear that every bottle you bring Ghome
