INTRO: 

G Cadd9 G Cadd9 

VERSE 1:

G
Smell of instant coffee, 
Cadd9
Reminds me of the days when I, 
G
Had other plans, other prospects,
Cadd9
Other ways of getting by,
Em                                      C
Before this useless ink was drilled in, My tired skin,
D
There was life,
Behind my eyes,
G
See I'd of been a teacher,
Cadd9
Changed peoples lives including mine,
G
I could have moved out years ago,
Cadd9
And not be drowning in this wine, 
Em
Forgetting how to swim,
C
And everyday I lose,
D
Cus' i'm still treading this water,
I've been turning into booze.

CHORUS:

Cadd9                      G
Whiskey on my tongue and blood on my hands,
      Em      D       Cadd9
It's only a matter of time,
                          Em           D
Before i see you fall to another mans arms
    Em           D         Cadd9
So why should i come home tonight?
Cadd9       (Mute)                      
Why should i come home tonight?

VERSE 2 : 

G
I'm sick of risking my health
Cadd9
On these three hundred day weekends,
G
Days of useless excuses, 
Cadd9
Oh I'm hungover again,
Em
Life stopped answering my calls, 
                   Cadd9                              D
And i'm getting friendlier with death, He said he'd trade me a bottle for what little soul I have left,
            G
And I said yes, 
              Cadd9
How else am i gonna' spend my time?
G
I could kid myself i'm healing, 
Cadd9
Tell my friends i'm doing fine, 
Em
I could ask the lord for forgiveness, 
            Cadd9                             D
But me and him don't get on well, Besides I doubt he could hear me,
From down here in my own hell.

CHORUS:

Cadd9                      G
Whiskey on my tongue and blood on my hands,
      Em      D       Cadd9
It's only a matter of time,
                          Em           D
Before i see you fall to another mans arms
    Em           D         Cadd9
So why should i come home tonight?
Em             D           Cadd9                               
Why should i come home tonight?


BRIDGE:

          Cadd9      Em           D
It's like you got it all figured out, 
         Cadd9          Em           D
And the words just get stuck in my mouth,
         Cadd9       Em
All the faces are changing,
D                        Cadd9
And i'm left alone once again,
My friend, give me something to believe in.


CHORUS:

         Cadd9                      G
Oh with Whiskey on my tongue and blood on my hands,
      Em      D       Cadd9
It's only a matter of time,
                          Em           D
Before i see you fall to another mans arms
    Em           D         Cadd9
So why should i come home tonight?
Em             D           Cadd9                               
Why should i come home tonight?
Em             D           Cadd9                               
Why should i come home tonight?
             G
Come home tonight.
