[Intro]
G A D
[Verse]
D
You know I love to drink my share
G
Of whiskey, beer, and wine
A
But, lately I've had one too many
D
One too many times
So bartender, I've been thinkin' up
G
A drinkin' resolution
A
I've thought about it long and hard
D
And here is my sol ution
D
Cut me off at one tonight
G
That's gonna be my limit
A
Let me look out for my elbow
D
Watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
G
I gotta get home early
A
So cut me off at one tonight
D
Or about one thirty
D
If they ran a honky tonk marathon
G
I know I'd win a prize
A
Cause every night when I crawl home
D
The sun gets in my eyes
But, tonight, it's gonna be different
G
I think I'm finally comin' 'round
A
In fact, I feel so good
D
I think I'll buy another round
D
Cut me off at two tonight
G
That's gonna be my limit
A
Let me look out for my elbow
D
Watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
G
I gotta get home early
A
So cut me off at two tonight
D
Or about two thirty
G
Now, there's more to life than fun and games
D
And it's high time that I learned
E
There's times you got to sacrfice
A
And I guess that it's my turn
D
Cut me off at three tonight
G
That's gonna be my limit
A
Let me look out for my elbow
D
Watch how much I bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
G
I gotta get home early
A
So cut me off at three tonight
D
Or about three thirty
A
So cut me off at three tonight
D
Or about three thirty
