Drinkin' Thing

	  		F  Bb  C 
 
 
      F            Bb             C      C  C/B  Bb 
Every day I tell myself it's temporary 
          Bb                Cm 
That it's only 'cause she's young 
               Bb           C           
That makes her want another man 
     F                   Bb        C       C  C/B  Bb 
Even though she makes me feel unecessary 
     Bb             C            F 
I've found a way to help me understand 

              Bb 
I've got this drinking thing 
             F 
To keep from thinkin? things 
                Cm 
'Bout where you been,  
        Bb 
who you been with 
            F 
What you've done 
F          Bb 
And it's a lonely thing 
             F 
But it's the only thing 
          Bb             C            F 
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on
 
 
 
 
If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions 
She'd probably tell the truth,  
So I don't even ask 
So I sit here on this barstool feeling helpless 
And I wonder just how long a man can last
