E G#m
Drunk. Totally Drained.
E A
On the verge of going crazy, on the edge of insane
Am E C#m
I know you prayed I'd make it, But I never pulled through
F#m B7
I gave up on going on just like I gave up on you
{chorus] A E
But don't you cry darlin', though it's a cryin' shame
B7 E E7
I was hooked on the whiskey so bad I didn't know my name when I died
A E C#m
Don't cry Darlin', you know it's not your fault
E A B7 E
I was stealing time from the devil and I just got caught
(spoken) E G#m
(you know hon, David left you so long ago.)
E A
(He didn't want to darling, but his dying words told you so)
Am E
(That strong stuff was always his weakness but any man can be a fool)
F#m
(I know that he was so ashamed and sorry)
B7
for all the bad things he did to you
(CHORUS X2)
