Drinkin Thing chords by Gary Stewart

N.C. F      Bb       C      C B Bb
Every day I tell myself it's temporary
Bb             F
That it's only 'cause she's young
        Bb      C
That makes her want another man
   F          Bb    C     C B Bb
Even though she makes me feel unecessary
   Bb       C      F
I've found a way to help me understand

Chorus:
N.C.     Bb
I've got this drinking thing
       F
To keep from thinkin things
        Bb
'Bout where you been,
    C
who you been with
      F
What you've done
F    F7 Bb
And it's a lonely thing
       F
But it's the only thing
     Bb       C      F
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on

N.C.   F        Bb      C       C B Bb
If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions
Bb           F
She'd probably tell the truth,
Bb       C
So I don't even ask
   F        Bb        C       C B Bb
So I sit here on this barstool feeling helpless
   Bb       C       F
And I wonder just how long a man can last

Repeat Chorus twice
