[Intro] G Cadd2 Dsus4 G Cadd2 Dsus4 [Verse]
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
Hello my name is Ishmael

G                        Cadd2 Dsus4
Forget the one about the whale

G                         Cadd2 Dsus4
I'll tell you of a broken-hearted

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
sailor

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
Maggie took my loyalty

G                       Cadd2 Dsus4
I treated her like royalty

G                                 Cadd2 Dsus4
What starts out with such promise ends in

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
failure
[Chorus]
G        Cadd2 Dsus4   G            Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home

G              Cadd2 Dsus4  G        Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here I'm better off alone

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been thinking too much, I better go home
[Verse]
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
All hail the Queen of cruelty, she has

G                 Cadd2 Dsus4
duly been anointed

G                         Cadd2 Dsus4
These final words "her majesty" had

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
to say

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
"He who expects nothing never

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
will be disappointed"  Nothing's

G                     Cadd2 Dsus4
what she left me so I guess i'm

G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
okay
[Chorus]
G        Cadd2 Dsus4   G            Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home

G              Cadd2 Dsus4  G        Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here we all stand alone

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been thinking too much, I better go home

[Verse]
G                       Cadd2 Dsus4
A promise made to a tab unpaid

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
It's home I wade to my bed unmade

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
A fool to think that I could ever

G                        Cadd2 Dsus4
change her

G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
A king upon my barstool throne

G                      Cadd2 Dsus4
I vow to never drink alone

G                           Cadd2 Dsus4
I only drink with friends or total

G                       Cadd2 Dsus4
strangers
