[Intro] C C G G C C [Verse 1]
    C                            G                C
Hey why am I drinking there's no really reason to quit

    C                 G                           C
And why am I thinking  God knows I'm trying to forget

    F                                             C
And why does that woman stay on my mind night and day

    C                 G                       C
And why am I drinking   why am I hurting this way
[Bridge]
   F                          C
Is love just another word for memory

       F                          C
And is love just another word for pain

    F                               C
The question is  is love really the answer

                 G       D       G
And if so why is love so much to blame
[Chorus]
   F                         C
If love is what we're really after

     F                 C
Then why am I running away
And why am I drinking
G                       C    C
  Why am I hurting this way
[Solo] | C | C | G | G | | C | C7 [Chorus]
   F                         C
If love is what we're really after

     F                 C
Then why am I running away
And why am I drinking
G                       C
  Why am I hurting this way
