Drinkin Thing chords by Gary Stewart

Chords with lyrics

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

Chorus:
N.C.     Bb majorBb
I've got this drinking thing
       FF
To keep from thinkin things
        Bb majorBb
'Bout where you been,
    C majorC
who you been with
      FF
What you've done
FF    F7F7 Bb majorBb
And it's a lonely thing
       FF
But it's the only thing
     Bb majorBb       C majorC      FF
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on

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

Repeat Chorus twice
