G            D7          G          D7
Well, I got a bad liver and a broken heart

G7           Am            G/B               C
Yeah, I drunk me a river since you tore me apart

G                D7                     G                     D7
And I don't have a drinking problem, except when I can't get a drink

E7b9             Am           G/B
I wish you'd a known her, we were quite a pair

C               G/B           Am        D7
She was sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer

G        D7          G        D7
So welcome to the continuing saga

E7b9                    Am          G/B 
She was my better half and I was just a dog

C                    G/B           Am
And so here I am slumped, I've been chipped

D7                   E7b9
I've been chumped on my stool

Am                   G/B            C
So buy this fool some spirits and libations

G         Am      D7      E7b9
It's these railroad station bars

Am                          G/B
And all these conductors and the porters

C                    G
And I'm all out of quarters

Gsus4                    D7 Gsus4 D7
And this epitaph is the af – ter – math

Gsus4        G/B      Am/C            G/B
Yeah, I choose my path, hey, come on, Kath

Am               D7             E7b9
He's a lawyer, he ain't the one for ya

Am              D7            Am                D7
No, the moon ain't romantic, it's intimidating as hell

Am         D7           Am        D7
And some guy's trying to sell me a watch

Am                    D7                              E7b9 
And so I'll meet you at the bottom of a bottle of bargain Scotch

Am                     G/B
I got me a bottle and a dream

C                 G 
It's so maudlin it seems

G                              D7                Am
You can name your poison, go on ahead and make some noise

D7                   E7b9          Am
I ain't sentimental, this ain't a purchase

G/B              C           G
It's a rental and it's purgatory

Am                       D7                  Am
And hey, what's your story, well, I don't even care

D7      E7b9    Am G/B C G Am G/B C G
'Cause I got my own double-cross to bear

G                   D7            G7             Am
And I'll see your Red Label, and I'll raise you one more

G                 D7         G                 D7
And you can pour me a cab, I just can't drink no more

G                       G                       D7
'Cause it don't douse the flames that are started by dames

E7b9                     Am        G/B        C           G
It ain't like asbestos, it don't do nothing but rest us assured

Am                    D7                    G 
And substantiate the rumours that you've heard
