Verse 1:

A minorAm     FF     A minorAm
I'm looking at another day
  E MajorE    FF  C majorC  E MajorE  FF
To find that I've got no-no-nothing to say
A minorAm   FF       A minorAm
Or I'm looking for another way
  E MajorE    FF      C majorC  E MajorE  FF
To process what happened on, on, on that birthday

C majorC     G+G  C majorC        E MajorE    FF
And either way, if you're gonna call it art
   C majorC     E MajorE  FF
Then there's a cup in front of you
C majorC     G+G  C majorC        E MajorE     FF
And right away, if you're gonna play your part
   C majorC      E MajorE       FF
You must drink it down, drink it down
     E MajorE       FF
Drink it down, drink it down

Verse 2:

A minorAm     FF        A minorAm
Well, mine eyes have seen the
    E MajorE   FF     C majorC      E MajorE    FF
Glory of the fields of flowers and fac-fac-factory farms
A minorAm   FF         A minorAm
And my mind's content to
    E MajorE    FF    C majorC    E MajorE     FF
Lie at rest for hours behind my love-love-loved ones' doors

C majorC   G+G       C majorC
And if there's a war
    E MajorE    FF   C majorC     E MajorE   FF
Another shitty war to fight for Ba-Ba-Babylon
C majorC        G+G   C majorC    E MajorE
It's the perfect storm in a teacup
FF    C majorC       E MajorE       FF
But you must drink it down, drink it down
     E MajorE       FF
Drink it down, drink it down


Chorus:

F# minorF#m         FF                     C majorC
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much more
        E MajorE         C majorC         FF
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more?
F# minorF#m       FF                  C majorC
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door?
      E MajorE        C majorC         FF        E MajorE
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it down,
    FF       E MajorE       FF
Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down


Verse 3:

A minorAm   FF        A minorAm
So I'm lifting up that poison cup
  E MajorE    FF  C majorC   E MajorE    FF
To drink a draught of pro-pro-propaganda
A minorAm   FF       A minorAm  E MajorE
Or I'm giving up that other stuff
  FF     C majorC     E MajorE   FF
In hopes that it's gonna ma-ma-make me madder

C majorC   G+G  C majorC        E MajorE    FF
Either way, if you're gonna call it art
   C majorC     E MajorE  FF
Then there's a cup in front of you
C majorC     G+G  C majorC        E MajorE     FF
And right away, if you're gonna play your part
   C majorC      E MajorE       FF
You must drink it down, drink it down
     E MajorE       FF
Drink it down, drink it down


Chorus:

F# minorF#m         FF                     C majorC
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much more
        E MajorE         C majorC         FF
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more?
F# minorF#m       FF                  C majorC
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door?
      E MajorE        C majorC         FF        E MajorE
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it down,
    FF       E MajorE       FF
Keep it down, keep it down, keep it down


F# minorF#m         FF                     C majorC
And what do you make of nights when you thought you'd make much more
        E MajorE         C majorC         FF
Than being too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more?
F# minorF#m       FF                  C majorC
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door?
      E MajorE        C majorC         FF
Saying it's time to turn the lights out and you want to keep it,

F# minorF#m         FF                 C majorC
And what does it say of all of the things you've said before
        E MajorE         C majorC         FF
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more?
F# minorF#m          FF              C majorC
And what do you save, what does it feel like to be saved?
      E MajorE           C majorC        FF        E MajorE
And can you pull, two three four, pull, two three, can you drink it down,
     FF       E MajorE       FF       A minorAm
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down, drink it down?
