When I Drink Beer chords by Mike Ryan

E                      B
When I drink beer I know what happens
              C#m                   A
I?ve seen it happen a hundred times before
        E                      B
I tell myself I?ll just have a couple
                 A     B             E
And I?ll have a couple and a couple more

         E                   B
By that 5th one I?m holding my phone
                C#m                 A
Looking through pictures of me and you
        E                           B
Then I sit there and stare at your number
            A        B             E
Thinking a shouldn?t but I always do

 B   E   A
Oohhhhh you don?t always answer
 B         E             A
Ohhh it?s better if you don?t
    B  E   A
Cuz oohhhh I can just keep drinking
 F#m                           B
(Crawl in a cab and head back home

          E              B
When you answer it gets messed up
             C#m                    A
Cuz you get dressed up and meet me here
            E             B
I know its only cuz your lonely
                A      B            E
But that don?t matter when I drink beer

Solo: E, B, C#m, A

 B  E   A
Oohhhh Layin? there beside you
 B      E               A
Ohhh I know it?s gonna hurt
     B   E  A
Cuz oohhhh there ain?t nothing better
 F#m                                      B
Than holding you but there ain?t nothing worse

        E                       B
When I wake up and that bed is empty
                C#m                  A
That pain will hit me cuz you ain?t there
         E                    B
I still want you but I can?t have you
                A        B             E
And If I can?t have you I just want a beer

              E              B
Right now I?m thirsty for a cold one
              C#m                   A
As much as I want one I?m steering clear
               E                B
Cuz I?m still hurting from the last time
                 A        B              E
And it?s been a long time since I drank beer

              E                     B
So I?ll take water or maybe coke a cola
                 A      B             E
Cuz I know what happens when I drink beer
