          G                   Am
Here's my keys, I want you to take 'em.
                  C                    D
I think I'm gonna need you to get back home.
              G                  Am
Hold on to my hat, I don't wanna lose it.
           C                              D
I couldn't stand for something else to be gone.
Am                           D
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here crying,
Am                        D
I think you'll understand why.


  G                         Am
Tonight, I'm the designated drinker.
       C                                      D
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger.
          G                    Am
I need to get to where I can't think of her,
     C      D                  C   G
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

       G                  Am
I came here to get you to help me,
         C                D
I need a friend to see me through.
           G                         Am
I hated to call, I knew you wouldn't mind at all.
           C                        D
I know you know I'd do the same for you.
Am                             D
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrow,
Am                  D
I may hate myself tomorrow.

     
    G                           Am
But tonight, I'm the designated drinker.
       C                                      D
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger.
          G                    Am
I need to get to where I can't think of her,
     C      D                  C   G
