[Intro]
| (G) | (A) | (D) | (D)
[Verse]
A D
It's just too bad for me to go out- side
G A
'Cause all I do tonight is slip and slide
D
Not because of any snow or rain
E A
No, the weatherman is not the one to blame
A D
Since you've left, I'm back to my old ways
G A
I ain't drawn a sober breath in days
G D
So I'll just sit here higher than a kite
G A D
'Cause Lord, it sure is drunk out to- night
[Chorus]
G D
When you moved out, a drunk front moved on in
E A
And the storm inside me is raging once a- gain
G D
The forecast tells me there's no change in sight
G A D
'Cause Lord, it sure is drunk out to- night
[Instrumental]
| (G) | (A) | (D) | (D) |
A D
I'll just sit here drinking and pre- tend
G A
That you're the reason for the shape I'm in
D
But you and I both know that it's not true
E A
There's just no way to place the blame on you
A D
I couldn't be the man you hoped I'd be
G A
'Cause the bottle always got the best of me
G D
I've tried to straighten up with all my might
G A D
But Lord, it sure is drunk out to- night
[Chorus]
G D
When you moved out, a drunk front moved on in
E A
And the storm inside me is raging once a- gain
G D
The forecast tells me there's no change in sight
G A D
'Cause Lord, it sure is drunk out to- night
[Outro]
G A D
Yeah Lord, it sure is drunk out to- night
