Drinkin' Thing

F  Bb  C


      F            Bb             C      C  C/B  Bb
Every day I tell myself it's temporary
          Bb                Cm
That it's only 'cause she's young
               Bb           C
That makes her want another man
     F                   Bb        C       C  C/B  Bb
Even though she makes me feel unecessary
     Bb             C            F
I've found a way to help me understand

              Bb
I've got this drinking thing
             F
To keep from thinkin' things
                Cm
'Bout where you been,
        Bb
who you been with
            F
What you've done
F          Bb
And it's a lonely thing
             F
But it's the only thing
          Bb             C            F
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on



If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions
She'd probably tell the truth,
So I don't even ask
So I sit here on this barstool feeling helpless
And I wonder just how long a man can last
