(As I write this I'm 506 days sober, Jason Isbell is such an inspiration!) [Intro] Am G Am Am G Am
C
Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking Same dream I have about twice a week

Dm                      G                      C
I had one glass of wine I woke up feeling fine That's how I knew it was a dream

C
Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking Cold burn of whiskey down my throat

Dm                                G                       C
My hand turned into a rattlesnake I laughed myself awake That's how I knew it was a joke

Am      C             G             F  Fmaj7  C                      G                     F Fmaj7 Am
It gets easier but it never gets easy  I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me

C                     G                     Em                   F
Hold down your liquor Or swallow your pride You'd rather keep it inside

        C             G            F Fmaj7  Am
It gets easier but it never gets easy

C
Last night I did myself a favor I called in sick and went downtown

Dm                         G                      C
Drove past the local bar A cop got behind the car I wish he would pull me over now

C
Last night I let myself remember Times I forgot a woman's name

Dm                             G                             C
I blacked out behind the wheel How tight the handcuffs feel  My daughter's eyes when she's ashamed

Am      C             G             F  Fmaj7  C                      G                     F Fmaj7 Am
It gets easier but it never gets easy  I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me

C                     G                   Am                        F
You can't expect her to follow your lead She's fine with wine and her weed

        C             G            F     G             F Am
It gets easier but it never gets easy It never gets easy
