When I Drink Tab por The Avett Brothers

C      Am     F              G            Am   C  
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F             G           C   Am
I do things I don't wanna do
F              G
I talk mean to you.
C         Am    F                G                   Am   C  
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
F                       G            C    Am
My parents taught me to learn when I miss  
F            G
Just do your best.
Am           C
Just do your best.

Em                             F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
   F                               G
At least a little better than I've been so far.

C            Am    F                   G               Am   C
But when I drink,  I hear things that aren't really there
F                    G                 C    Am 
I feel things when I shouldn't  really care
     F                    G
Have fist fights with the air.
C         Am    F             G         Am   C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F                   G              C    Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F                G
With something to tell
Am           C
Just do your best

Em                             F
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am                       G

C          Am     F                G            Am   C     
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F            G          C    Am   
But we only get so many days
F              G
Now I have one less
Am          C
Just do your best.

Em                             F

       F                               G           C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.
