[Verse]
A                  D
I can make anybody pretty 
      A                    D
I can make you believe any lie 
      A               A/G#       F#m      A          E
I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size 
     A                              D
Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
    A                              D
And I've been known to cause a few births 
      A            A/G#   F#m           A          E
I can make you new friends   or get you fired from work

[Chorus]
              A             D
And since the day I left Milwaukee 
A                       D
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France 
     A          A/G# F#m         A    Bm                       E
Been making the bars lots of big money and helping white people dance 
  A                     D
I got you in trouble in high school 
    A                      D
But college now that was a ball 
        D           D/C#              D/B      D/A        E
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me 
    A      D        A        D
Alcoho-o-o-o-l, Alcoho-o-o-o-o-l 

[Verse]
      A                      D
I got blamed at your wedding reception
         A                       D
For your best man's embarrassing speech
    A              A/G#  F#m         A          E
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach
     A                          D
I've influenced kings and world leaders
         A                       D
I helped Hemingway write like he did
         A         A/G#         F#m
And I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
A                          E
Put that lampshade on your head

[Chorus]
                A             D
Cause since the day I left Milwaukee 
A                       D
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France 
     A             A/G#   F#m             A  Bm                       E
Been making a fool out of folks just like you and helping white people dance 
     A                 D
I am medicine and I am poison 
      A                       D
I can help you up or make you fall 
        D           D/C#              D/B      D/A        E
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me

Been making the bars lots of big money and helping white people dance 
     A                       D
Yeah I got you in trouble in high school 
A                      D
College now that was a ball 
        D           D/C#              D/B      D/A        E
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me
