Em     Bm                Em
I get drunk and talk to God
   Em                Bm                Em
I say I'm sorry for all the things I'm not
Em  A
And I mean every word I say
         Em           A
And I promise I can change
     Em      Bm               Em   G
When I get drunk and talk to God

[Verse 2]
    Em               Bm                   Em     G
When I talk to God I tell him why we're through
           Em               Bm             Em
I tell him all the things I did and didn't do
Em         A
I'll say, "I can't be alone"
                Em          A
And he'll say, "Son, you're on your own"
           Em                Bm                   Em   G
'Cause when I talk to God I tell him why we're through

[Chorus]
   Bm                                     A              Em
I wish that I could go to church but I'm too ashamed of me
   Bm                                 A              Em
I hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees
       Em                                       A
And I hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot
     Em     Bm                Em
When I get drunk and talk to God

[Instrumental]
Em A Em Bm

[Verse 3]
Em                     Bm               Em
When I talk to God I thank him for the time
Em                             Bm                  Em
All those precious years that you were mine, all mine
F#m      A                     Em            A
I know he's a busy man, he'll help me if he can
Em                       Bm                Em
So when I talk to God I thank him for the time

[Chorus]
  Bm                A                                   Em
I wish that I could go to church but I'm too ashamed of me
  Bm                 A                             Em
I hate the fact it takes a bottle to get me on my knees
       Em                                       A
And I hope he'll forgive the things you ain't forgot
Em                Bm          Em A
When I get drunk and talk to God
         Em     Bm                A
Oh, when I get drunk and talk to God
