Bb


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

Verse 2:
      F    Gm      F
I threw the party so I could stay put
Bb       G       C     Eb
You brought the bottle like a promise I forgot
 Gm          C     Eb
A new year begins, it ushers us in
  F         Eb   Bb
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:
       F     Gm  F
I can't tell how big my heart is
   Bb    Gm     C    Eb
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


Chorus:
        Gm
He'll blame the alcohol
           Eb
And you'll blame the full moon
         Bb
She'll blame the fall of man
          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

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