At a bar in a town that I sure won't remember.

Next time September will show her cruel face
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
I will race to the bottle of every glass
B minorBm G+G
And I hope that these drinks have a shot at replacing
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G A augmentedA
The things that I lost on the way that I took to this place
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
So give me one shot of whiskey
D MajorD G+G
Two lines of cocaine
D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way
D MajorD G+G
And if you see my brother
D MajorD G+G
Please tell him I'm fine
D MajorD B minorBm
Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas

Though I'm not sure quite why

Mercy me, oh my god, I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind

If there's one thing I've learned as I pass through the seasons

To not "what you reap what you sow"

It's that get what you give if you're lucky but mostly you don't.
