[Verse 1]
C Am F G Am C
When I drink, I say things I don't wanna say
F G C C/B Am
I do things i don't wanna do
F G
I talk mean to you.
C Am F G Am C
But if I think, I just might get something out of this
F G C C/B Am
My parents taught me to learn when i miss
F G
Just do your best.
Am C
Just do your best.
[Chorus]
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
[Verse 2]
C Am F G Am C
But when I drink, I hear things that aren't really there
F G C C/B Am
I feel things when i shouldn't really care
F G
Have fist fights with the air.
C Am F G Am C
But if I think, about someone besides myself
F G C C/B Am
I lived through the silver and the bell
F G
With something to tell
Am C
Just do your best
[Chorus]
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
[Verse 3]
C Am F G Am C
But when I drink, I spend the next morning in a haze
F G C C/B Am
But we only get so many days
F G
Now I have one less
Am C
Just do your best.
[Chorus]
Em Dm
It's the only way to keep that last bit of sanity
Am G
Maybe I don't have to be good but I can try to be
F G
at least a little better than I've been so far.
F G C
Oh, at least a little better than I've been so far.
