When I drink,   I say things I don't wanna say

I do things i don't  wanna do

I talk mean to you.

But if I think,   I just might get something out of this

Just do your best.

Just do your best.

It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity

Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be

at least a little better than I've been so far.

Have fist fights with the air.

C            Am   F              G         Am      C
 But if I think,   about someone besides myself

With something to tell
