Verse:
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
Hello my name is Ishmael
G                        Cadd2 Dsus4
Forget the one about the whale
G                         Cadd2 Dsus4

sailor
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
Maggie took my loyalty
G                       Cadd2 Dsus4
I treated her like royalty
G                                 Cadd2 Dsus4
What starts out with such promise ends in
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
failure


Chorus:
G        Cadd2 Dsus4   G            Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home
G              Cadd2 Dsus4  G        Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here I'm better off alone
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been thinking too much, I better go home


Verse:
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
All hail the Queen of cruelty, she has
G                 Cadd2 Dsus4
duly been anointed
G                         Cadd2 Dsus4
These final words "her majesty" had
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
to say
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
"He who expects nothing never
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
will be disappointed"  Nothing's
G                     Cadd2 Dsus4
what she left me so I guess i'm
G                    Cadd2 Dsus4
okay


Chorus:
G        Cadd2 Dsus4   G            Cadd2 Dsus4
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4   G        Cadd2 Dsus4
But I been drinkin' too much, I better go home
G              Cadd2 Dsus4  G        Cadd2 Dsus4
And I think here we all stand alone

Verse:
G                       Cadd2 Dsus4
A promise made to a tab unpaid
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
It's home I wade to my bed unmade
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
A fool to think that I could ever
G                        Cadd2 Dsus4
change her
G                          Cadd2 Dsus4
A king upon my barstool throne

I vow to never drink alone
G                           Cadd2 Dsus4
