Drop D
Intro riff on G&B strings back&forth on the 5th&7th frets
A G
Pass me the lampshade
D G D
I'm drunk again
A G
Blew my drug money
D G D
on a quart of gin
A G
Well I am a cultured man
D G D
with tastes, discriminating
A G
But I'll settle for a tall glass
D
of anything
[Riff on A G D G D]
Fell in love with love
and death and darkness
If I'm a bad drunk, well
it's not for lack of practice
There is no, this is no
modern romance
Cause I'm goin' home
in a fuckin' ambulance

Well, am I the only one drinkin'

E G D
Now I'm the only one
[Riff on A G D G D]
A G
Mirror and medicine cabinet door
D G D
Like the hatch of a submarine
A G
Bottles inside like buttons and dials
D G D
and tiny back-lit screens
A G
Bloody footprints on the
D
bathroom floor
A G
In a hotel close to the airport
F# E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
F# E
The only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight
E G
Despair's an octopus
F#
with its head in New Hampshire
E G D
and tentacles everywhere
F# E
Well am I the only one drinkin'
D E D
tonight?
F# E D
The only one drinkin' tonight? X2
