[Intro]

Em C Am

x 2

[Verse 1]

Let me make one thing clear

C Am

You can buy me a beer, but you ain't taking me home

Em C Am

No pick up lines, I came here tonight to shed a few tears on my own

But sitting there across the room

C Am

I couldn't help but notice you seemed a little down on your love too

Yeah, my heart might be breaking

But, this seat ain't taken

And you've got me thinkin'

[Chorus]

Em C

We should be drinkin' alone, together

Drownin' the pain is better

B Em

With somebody else who got problems

We ain't gonna solve 'em

Am B

But misery loves company

Em C

Tonight all I need is a stranger

Am B

Lips with a whiskey chaser

Em C Am

And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone

B Em C Am

We should be drinking alone

B Em C Am B

We should be drinkin' alone, together

[Verse 2]

Em C

I don't know what she did to make you hurt like this

But, I know just what to do

Em C

It starts with a bottle of good reposado

And ends with a shooter or two

Tomorrow when the sun comes up

Tonight's the night that never was

Baby, just forget my name

Won't be your one and only

C Am

But just 'cause we're lonely don't mean that we should

[Chorus]

Em C

We should be drinkin' alone, together

Drownin' the pain is better

B Em

With somebody else who got problems

We ain't gonna solve 'em

Am B

But misery loves company

Em C

Tonight all I need is a stranger

Am B

Lips with a whiskey chaser

And a corner booth kiss to make me forget that he's gone
