[Intro]
E   A  B7  B7/F#  E
 
[Verse 1]
E                                A
Well I come home late from work, thirsty as I can be
B7        B7/F#   B7        B7/F#       B7     B7/F#      E
I see the ice box locked up tight and a little note that reads:
E                            A
"The bills are on the table, I'll be home after 8"
        B7      B7/F# B7     B7/F# B7      B7/F#    E
You see my baby only loves me when I don't feel so great
 
[Chorus]
              E E            A A
Well I'm drunk    I'm single
             B7     B7/F#  E
and there is no two ways about it
E                 A                 B7       B7/F#        E
You tried talking sense to me but I lived all my life without it
A                                             E
Well some talk funny, and some can't walk and others fall down on the floor
F#                                     B7    B7/F#        B7    B7/F#
But when the beers are poured my fidelity is the first to go
 
[Verse 2]
E                                             A
Well I'm swimming on the barstool now and you know I do feel fine
    B7         B7/F#    B7    B7/F#   B7    B7/F#         E
The skirts are creeping up on me with every bottle that I buy
E                                        A
Well there's Stephanie and Shirley and Lucinda, Jane and Sue
    B7      B7/F#  B7   B7/F#    B7         B7/F#        E
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I just don't know what to do
 
[Chorus]
              E E            A A
Well I'm drunk    I'm single
             B7     B7/F#  E
and there is no two ways about it
E                 A                 B7       B7/F#        E
You tried talking sense to me but I lived all my life without it
 
[Instrumental]
A   E   F#  B7  B7/F#  B7  B7/F#
E   A   B7  B7/F#  B7  B7/F#  B7  B7/F#  E
 
[Verse 3]
E                                    A
Well the bar is closing down now, but buddy I'm not going home
       B7   B7/F#  B7      B7/F#     B7      B7/F#   E
I'm as free as a bird now but I just hate to sleep alone
E                                           A
Well Judge Henry's only daughter, yes she's got a wild side
      B7       B7/F#   B7     B7/F#         B7     B7/F#  E
She's standing in the parking lot and she's asking for a ride
 
[Chorus]
              E E            A A
Well I'm drunk    I'm single
             B7     B7/F#  E
and there is no two ways about it
E                 A                 B7       B7/F#        E
You tried talking sense to me but I lived all my life without it
A                                             E
Well some talk funny, and some can't walk and others fall down on the floor
F#                                    B7    B7/F#        B7    B7/F#
But when the wine is flowing my fidelity is the first to go
              E E                A A
Well I'm drunk    and I'm single
             B7  B7/F#   B   B7/F#   E
and there is nooooo two  ways      about it
