tryin' to drown those sorrows ain't as easy as you think 
      C                                                        
But living with a liar is a hard old way to go

They say that whiskey ain't the best way, but then I ain't too smart  
    Em                                      F    G          C 
to think I just found out she was lyin' from the start 
                 C                                                          
So if this is nothing but a bad joke lookin' for a laugh  
Em                                                           F                G 
hold on to your lampshade darlin' cause I'm looking for a hat

So get this taxi movin' cause I got no time to lose  
           Em                            F         G        C 
there's no time to be choosy, any old bar will do 
               C                                                                        
cause I'm lookin' to get silly and I'm lookin' to get loose  
         Em                                                 F              G         
and if that don't get it done darlin', I'll come looking for you
