Verse 1:
C       Am      G
Another night
        C      Am
Another bar
               D            G
Another wasted brain cell
             C
On a useless memory
C        D          G
Why do I come here
             C            Am
I ask myself every time
                D         G
Supporting this business
                     C
That makes money off loitering

Verse 2:
C        Am                G
I had to leave the house
         C            Am
I had to see the sky
                        D         G
But it was too dark and cold out
                   C
Besides everything else was closed
C          D        G
Decided to go
                   C        Am
Where I don't know anyone
                D               G
Sit down at the bar and order
        C
Double anything

Chorus:
C  D  Em G
               D/A    G
I came here to drink alone
Em             D/A     G
Sometimes that's all I've got
C              G/B          Am
Sometimes your friends don't know
D9/F#                     Em
Or else they know all too well
C            G/B          Am
I don't know which one's worse
D9/F#                     Em
But I don't need wisdom now
D9/F#         Am
Nor do I need advise
D9/F#      G
Or camaraderie no
Em D/A G   C/G G
I just need to drink
D/A  G
Alone


Verse 3:
C          Am         G
Had to go some place
               C          Am
Where it ain't necessary
             D      G
To put on an act
                  C
Or to let one act slip away
C                D
Or wish for the power to say
G                    C           Am
No, I don't want to hear a poem
                D         G
Or I have to go home
                   C
I've been here too long already


Verse 4:
C              Am           G
Bartender just looks at me
                      C      Am
You're a problem I've seen before
                  D        G
But I won't cause trouble
                C
I came here to disappear
C                D            G
Try not to seem overly drunk
                 C               Am
So he'll keep on pouring drinks
                 D                    G
Ignore dirty old men and then spend
              C
All my money loitering


Chorus:
C  D  Em G
               D/A    G
I came here to drink alone
Em             D/A     G
Sometimes that's all I've got
C              G/B          Am
Sometimes your friends don't know
D9/F#                     Em
Or else they know all too well
C            G/B          Am
I don't know which one's worse
D9/F#                     Em
But I don't need wisdom now
D9/F#         Am
Nor do I need advise
D9/F#      G
Or camaraderie no
Em D/A G   C/G G
I just need to drink
D/A  G
Alone

Verse 5:
C                   Am      G
Five o'clock in the morning
                  C             Am
I stumble through my front door
              D       G
Fingers are numb
                  C
I dropped my keys in the snow
C                D       G
It's harder to see now
                C          Am
But sleeping is easier
            D        G
Got nothing solved
                        C
But I guess that's just how it goes
