[Intro] G G Am Am C D G D [Verse 1]

          G                   Am
Here's my keys, I want you to take 'em.

                  C                    D
I think I'm gonna need you to get back home.

              G                  Am
Hold on to my hat, I don't wanna lose it.

           C                              D
I couldn't stand for something else to be gone.

Am                           D
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here crying,

Am                        D
I think you'll understand why.

[Chorus]

  G                         Am
Tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

       C                                      D
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger.

          G                    Am
I need to get to where I can't think of her,

     C     D                   C   G
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

[Instrumental] G G Am Am C D G D [Verse 2]

       G                  Am
I came here to get you to help me,

         C                D
I need a friend to see me through.

           G                         Am
I hated to call, I knew you wouldn't mind at all.

           C                        D
I know you know I'd do the same for you.

Am                             D
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrow,

Am                  D
I may hate myself tomorrow.

[Chorus]

      G                         Am
But tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

       C                                      D
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger.

          G                    Am
I need to get to where I can't think of her,

     C     D                   C   G
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

[Instrumental] G G Am Am C C D D [Chorus]

           G                     Am
We need to get to where we can't think of her,

     C     D                     C   G
So tonight, we're the designated drinkers.

        C     D                     C   G
Woah, tonight, we're the designated drinkers.
