[Verse 1]
G              G9        C
  One shot can turn into two

            Cm          G
Two gets me telling the truth

              G7        CM7
Two shots can turn into three

                CmM7        G
That's when I'm speaking my peace

                G7/F      Cadd9
Three shots can turn into four

                    CmM7     G
That's when I don't count anymore

           G9           C6
No telling what happens next

But I got a pretty good guess
[Chorus]
                   G      B7
Might get a little out of hand

              Em7             C
When I get my hand on that handle

                    G      B7
Yeah, buddy, I'm an honest man

                Em7          C
When I mix some Jack with my Daniels

                G                B7
But it ain't my fault, it's that 80 proof

Em          C
Devil on my shoulder

   G                B7b9
So when the party's over

            Em              C
Don't blame me for what the whiskey told ya

   B7  Em
Oh-oh, yeah

  Might ruffle up some of your feathers

C6                 Cm
Let your girl know she could do better

G                  G9
Sorry if you got a bone to pick

         C                Cm
'Cause I mix alcohol with politics

G                     G9
"Where'd you get that shirt? 'Cause I hate it"

      C6                       Cm
"Nice truck, no, you ain't overcompensating"

 G           G9
"By the way, how's your mom?

     C                 Cm
Tell her to call, it's been too long"
[Chorus]
                   G      B7
Might get a little out of hand

              Em7             C
When I get my hand on that handle
