::Verse #1::
B G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
B G#min
When they’re strapping you down inside your own head
B G#min
So you hang out with the man on the moon
B B
But why does the morning have to come too soon?
E C#min
When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic
E C#min
All your radio is picking up is cheap static
E C#min
So you reach beneath your front seat
E C#min
For the taste of something sweet
::Chorus::
B G#min
Well, just remember what the drowning man said
B G#min B G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
B G#min
E C#min E
Before you put the gun to your head
C#min E
Remember what the drowning man said
C#min E C#min B
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Verse #2::
B G#min
B G#min
B G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
B G#min
When you’re tripping down the path that you were led
B G#min
When your ass has been slapped by too many doors
B G#min
And you think of all the good things you can’t afford
E C#min
You can’t find a good woman can’t find a good job
E C#min
You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob
E C#min
You just can’t swallow all the shit you’ve been fed
E C#min
Been punched in the eye so much you only see red
::Chorus::
B G#min B
But before you put that gun to your head
G#min B G#min B G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
E C#min E
Remember what the drowning man said
C#min E C#min
Before you put the gun to your head
E C#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
::Instrumental Solo::
B G#min (2x)
E C#min (4x)
::Verse #3::
B G#min
A little lost is better than found
B G#min
When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground
B G#min
But someone’s always there to lend you a hand
B G#min
But too late you’re already neck deep in quick sand
E C#min
And you’re sprawled out on some floor
E C#min
Some one call for help "Is he alive? We’re not sure"
E C#min
Everybody’s screaming, everyone’s in a panic
E C#min
But you, your face is peaceful like it’s plastic
B G#min
And as they roll him away on the stretcher
B G#min B G#min
We knew that he’d be drunk forever
B G#min
I guess a little drunk is better
B G#min B G#min
::Chorus::
E C#min E
Before you put the gun to your head
C#min E C#min
Remember what the drowning man said
E C#min E C#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
E C#min E C#min
E C#min B G#min
A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
B G#min B G#min B G#min
