[Verse 1]
F I woke up this morning and I C swore to God I'd never, G C ever take another drink again F I fought it like the devil C but you know that you're in trouble G C when your fourteen and drunk by 10AM F tried to hide it from my mom and dad
all my friends said straighten up
C F I just laughed and said you don't understand C G F C G C that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
[Verse 2]
F at sixteen I was on my own C flyin' high and staying stoned G C I knew everything there was to know F I did things that I can't talk about C I wore my mom and daddy out G C Late nights they spend prayin' for my soul F Stayed sober once for nine days in a row
I quit cold-turkey
C F Damn near almost made it to ten C G F C But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
[Chorus]
F C G I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand F C G I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can C G F C G C 'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
[Verse 3]
F I don't know when or where it was C Or how we met and fell in love G C Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me F I tried to pull myself together C Hopin' we could last forever G C For a while I started to believe F Her daddy said, "She's all I got
Son, don't ever break her heart
C F Promise me before you take her hand" C G F C But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man
[Chorus]
F C G I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand F C G I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can C G F C G C 'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
[Coda]
F I woke up this mornin' and I C swore to God I'd never, G C ever take another drink again
