G                            D
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
   C           D             G 
To me it will all taste the same
                                        D
Down the hatch, cross my throat, open throttle 
C                    D                 G
My heart is pumping sorrow through me vanes


         C            D               G 
I could drink to the times when I was happy
                    D
But here's a toast to my misery
    G                        D 
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
    C         D          G 
Oh bartender bring it to me


                             D 
On tap, in the can or in the bottle
 C              D           G
I wonder who's kissing her now
                      D
My life I'll have to remodel
     C                D            G 
And learn to life without her somehow


            C                      D
There's no place to go and hide myself
      C       G       D 
The only sanctuary I seek 
       G                         D
Is on tap, in the can or in the bottle
    C         D          G 
Oh bartender bring it to me

 
            C                      D
There's no place to go and hide myself
      C       G       D 
The only sanctuary I seek 
       G                         D
Is on tap, in the can or in the bottle
    C         D          G 
Oh bartender bring it to me
