Drinker 

(Tune down one whole step E = D) 
¾ time...intro chords: Em, Am7, G, D 

Em Am7 
The bartender looked through the eye in the mirror 
G D 
And then, poured me a drink. 
Em 
How about them Orioles, 
Am7 G D 
Gone for the pennant this year. 
Em 
He smiled as he said it, 
Am7 G D C 
As if maybe that made him happy. 
Am 
But I know thats not very happy, 
G Bm C 
If youre the guy routing for Boston. 
Am G 
And I know she left me to save me the pain 
Bm 
Of knowing she would. 
[double-time: Em, Am7, G, D (2x)] 

D A D Em G 
Drinker 21 another rounds coming 
A D Em C 
And then you can tell me your struggle 
A D Em C 
Drinker 21 youre not the only one 
A D Em C 
I just dumped two today. 

The bartender moved close to give me a light 
For the smoke, that filled my intentions. 
She could have loved me if I hadnt given so much. 
But I know she loved me cause I have 
All of the pain to prove it. 
And I know she left me to save me the pain 
Of knowing she would. 

Drinker 21 another rounds coming 
And then you can tell me your struggle 
Drinker 21 youre not the only one 
I just dumped two today. 

Drinker 21 another rounds coming 
And then you can tell me your struggle 
Drinker 21 youre not the only one 
We both will be lucky to die.
