      D
I was sittin' in a chair at the H & R Block
     G
Some vain accountant pencil pusher runnin' up the clock
           A
Said, "I'd tallied up your numbers through the end of the year
         D                               E   F     F#
Son, you spent a small fortune on liquor and beer"

[Chorus]
              G                      D                       F# G
I said, "It's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
    G#   A                     D
You just pour and drink, yeah, 16.50 for a bottle of jack

   D
No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done
                                               E    F    F#
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun"

[Chorus]
         G                      D                       F# G
And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
    G#   A                          D
You just pour and drink, yeah, it's cheaper than a shrink

    D
Now me and her had this little problem between us
G
Tryin' to prove the gap between Mars and Venus
          A
She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital councilor"
        D                                    E  F       F#
I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of 12 ouncers

[Chorus]
            G                      D                       F# G
'Cause it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
    G#   A                     D
You just pour and drink, 'bout 18 bucks will get you four 6 packs

   D
No pourin' out your heart to some high dollar quack
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done
                                               E    F    F#
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun"

[Chorus]
         G                      D                       F# G
And it's cheaper than a shrink, you don't have to think
    G#   A                        D                     E F F#
You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink

   G
If liquor prices soar as high as gasoline,
     D                                 F F#
Then I'd a quit drinkin' when I was 19
         G
It's the oldest, most proven form of therapy
    Em                         A
The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's

[Chorus]
G                      D                           F# G
Cheaper than a shrink, mmm you don't have to think
    G#   A                        D
You just pour and drink, and it's cheaper than a shrink

            A                         D
Oh you just pour and drink and it's a whole lot cheaper than some
Big town, clock hound, drag it down shrink
