The Growlers - Drinking Song For Kids
[Intro]
C#m
[Verse 1]
C#m
Too many songs not about drinking
Too many songs, stories unlived
I get along with my imperfection
I got a song, just for the kids
[Verse 2]
C#m
Holding it in, don’t let them find out
You want to keep all your life separate
I don’t plan on having the stakes babe
You be the judge if I seem pathetic
[Chorus]
C#m
Here I am cold as a beer again
G#
When I wake up weeping till I wait
C#m
Here I am warming up in time
G#
In the hands of a god without a name
[Verse 3]
C#m
I drink heavy if you measure in blood
Can’t say “no” to a friend with the smirk
My ego’s dissocial, now let me shut up
My mind loves to watch her heart on work
[Chorus]
C#m
Here I am cold as a beer again
G#
Better struck weeping till I wait
C#m
Here I am warming up in time
G#
In the hands of a god without a name
[Bridge]
F# C#m
Let my soul grow strong enough to be written in my eye
G# C#m
Let them drown in the waves of the salty tears I cry
[Verse 4]
C#m
If whiskey don’t drown me and I make it to the surface
When I come up I hope the smoke ain’t too thick
I’ll turn around and swim back to the bottom
I don’t want to waste my whiff
[Chorus]
C#m
Here I am cold as a beer again
G#
Better struck weeping till I wait
C#m
Here I am warming up in time
G#
In the hands of a god without a name
[Bridge]
F# C#m
Let my soul grow strong enough to be written in my eye
G# C#m
Let them drown in the waves of the salty tears I cry
[Guitar solo]

Let them drown in the waves of the salty tears I cry
