Verse 1:
C            F                     C
Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking
C            F                  C
Same dream I have about twice a week
D        G
I had one glass of wine
D         G
I woke up feeling fine
C           F             C
That's how I knew it was a dream

C            F                     C
Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking
C            F               C
Cold burn of whiskey down my throat
D              G
My hand turned into a rattlesnake
D           G
I laughed myself awake
C            F             C
That's how I knew it was a joke

Chorus 1:
        Am            G               F
It gets easier but it never gets easy
      Am
I can say it's all worth it
    G                     F
But you won't believe me
Am
Hold down your liquor
   G
Or swallow your pride
Em                      F
You'd rather keep it inside
        Am            G               F
It gets easier but it never gets easy

Verse 2:
C            F            C
Last night I did myself a favor
C           F                 C
I called in sick and went downtown
D              G
Drove past the local bar
D         G
A cop got behind the car
C               F            C
I wish he would pull me over now
C            F          C
Last night I let myself remember
C       F                C
Times I forgot a woman's name
Dm            G
I blacked out behind the wheel
Dm             G
How tight the handcuffs feel
C             F                 C
My daughter's eyes when she's ashamed

Chorus 2:
        Am             G               F
It gets easier, but it never gets easy
      Am
I can say it's all worth it
    G                     F
But you won't believe me
Am                      G
You can't expect her to follow your lead
Em                   F
She's fine with wine and her weed
        Am            G                F
It gets easier but it never gets easy
F
It never gets easy

I can say it's all worth it but you won't believe me
Am                       G
Hold down your liquor or swallow your pride
Em                       F
You'd rather keep it all inside

It gets easier but it never gets easy
F                     Am    Em    F
It never gets easy
F
It never gets easy

Am   Em   F
