Standard Tuning, No Capo
Tabbed by: Luke Scott

When I (E)drink beer I know what (B)happens
I’ve seen it (C#m)happen a hundred times (A)before
I tell (E)myself I’ll just have a (B)couple
And I’ll have a (A)couple(B) and a couple (E)more

By that (E)5th one I’m holding (B)my phone 
Looking through(C#m) pictures of me and (A)you
Then I (E)sit there and stare at your (B)number
Thinking a (A)shouldn’t(B) but I always (E)do

(B)Oohh(E)hhh (A)you don’t always answer
(B)Ohhh it’s (E)better if you (A)don’t 
Cuz (B)oohh(E)hh (A)I can just keep drinking
(F#m)Crawl in a cab and head back (B)home

When you (E)answer it gets (B)messed up
Cuz you get (C#m)dressed up and meet me (A)here
I know its (E)only cuz your (B)lonely 
But that don’t(A) matter (B)when I drink (E)beer

Solo: (E, B, C#m, A)

(B)Ooh(E)hhh (A)Layin’ there beside you
(B)Ohhh I (E)know it’s gonna (A)hurt
Cuz (B)oohh(E)hh (A)there ain’t nothing better
(F#m)Than holding you but there ain’t nothing (B)worse

When I (E)wake up and that bed is (B)empty 
That pain will (C#m)hit me cuz you ain’t (A)there
I still (E)want you but I can’t (B)have you
And If I can’t (A)have you (B)I just want a (E)beer

Right now I’m(E) thirsty for a (B)cold one
As much as I (C#m)want one I’m steering (A)clear
Cuz I’m still (E)hurting from the (B)last time
And it’s been a (A)long time(B) since I drank (E)beer

So I’ll take (E)water or maybe coke a (B)cola 
Cuz I know what (A)happens(B) when I drink (E)beer
