Verse 1:
              F            Gm       F
I drank the dregs of the champagne alone
Bb          G       C             Eb
Warm, flat, coppery coins down my throat
    F               Gm F  Eb
I'm saving up for a rainy day
    F                         Bb
And I plan to spend it in one place

You brought the bottle like a promise I forgot
  Gm                   C         Eb
A new year begins, it ushers us in

The knot in my gut is coming with


Chorus:
                Gm
He'll blame the alcohol
                     Eb
And you'll blame the full moon
                 Bb
She'll blame the fall of man
                   F
And I'll blame the part of you
               C
That can't let up on the reigns

                     Eb
You've got life in a chokehold
             F
You say that it's all the same
               Eb     Bb
All glittering fool's gold


Verse 3:

I can't tell how big my heart is

Let's open the door, see how many fit
     Gm                        F  C   Eb
Like drunks in a bathtub, keep piling in
        F                         Eb Bb
Now I'm locking the door till the morning

                   F       Dm
And I'll blame the evening news
    F            Gm
For giving us doomsday
                  Eb
And dropping the ball
             Bb
Building our fear
                 F
Like bricks in a wall

                Gm
He'll blame his mom and dad
                   Eb
And you'll say you understand
                 Bb
She'll blame the wrath of God
              F      Dm
And I come up empty-handed
F              Gm
Every time he cries out
                 Eb
You'll blame the altitude
             Bb
She'll blame society
                F
And I blame the part of you
               C
That can't let up on the reigns

You've got life in a chokehold
             F
You say that it's all the same
               Eb     Bb
All glittering fool's gold
