I don't sleep in an old pine box

Chorus:
    G#                      D#     G#
I'm drinkin' like there's no tomorrow

And I pray to God there ain't
       G#                 D#        G#
'Cause one more day without her love
G#                       D#7

G#                 G#7
So don't tell me just hang on

 Somehow I'll survive

'Cause you don't have to die to lose your life

Verse 2:
G#                 G#7
I don't need you I don't love you
G#               G#
 Were my final words
                               D#7
Beforе I fell straight to Hell
            D#7
Right herе on Earth
G#                      G#7
I told myself I could live without her
G#               D#7
 I guess I was right
    G#                  D#7                G#     D#  G#
But you don't have to die to lose your life

    G#                      D#     G#
I'm drinkin' like there's no tomorrow
G#              D#7         G#
And I pray to God there ain't
       G#                 D#        G#
'Cause one more day without her love
G#                       D#7
Is one more than I can take
G#                 G#7
So don't tell me just hang on
G#                 D#7
 Somehow I'll survive
