I woke up this morning and I

swore to God I'd never,

ever take another drink again.

I fought it like the devil

but you know that you're in trouble

all my friends said straighten up I just laughed and said you don't understand

that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

at sixteen I was on my own

flyin' high and staying stoned

I knew everything there was to know

I did things that I can't talk about

I wore my mom and daddy out

G                                      C
Late nights they spend prayin' for my soul

Stayed sober once for nine days in a row

I quit cold-turkey

Dame near almost made it to ten

C                            G            C
But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

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            C
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

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

C
Son, don't ever break her heart

G                               C
Promise me before you take her hand"

C                            G          C
But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man

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            C
'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man

F                          
I woke up this mornin' and I 

C                      
swore to god I'd never, 

G                         C
