G
Last night, I had a little talk with myself
C                      G
Just me and me, man to man
G
I said, Self, I think it’s time I laid it on the line
      D7                            G
And I tried my best to make me understand:
 
 
G
Drinking them beers
G
Shedding them tears
 C                       G
Over a love that’s grown cold
G
Wasting time, yours and mine
    D7
And wasted time can make a man grow old
 
 
        G
I said, Self, you’ll ruin your health  
     C                         G
They say alcohol will cook the brain
G
I answered me, That well may be
        D7                                  G
But you know it sure works good to kill the pain
 
 
G
Last night, I had a little talk with myself
 C                   G
About an old love affair
G
I said, Self, can’t you see, she’s killing you and me
       D7                       G
And we both know she don’t even care
 
 
G
Drinking them beers
G
Shedding them tears
 C                       G
Over a love that’s grown cold
G
Wasting time, yours and mine
    D7
And wasted time can make a man grow old
 
 
        G
I said, Self, you’ll ruin your health  
     C                         G
They say alcohol will cook the brain
G
I answered me, That well may be (well may be)
        D7                                  G
But you know it sure works good to kill the pain
 
 
G
Drinking them beers
G
Shedding them tears (crocodile)
 C                       G
Over a love that’s grown cold
G
Wasting time, yours and mine
    D7                                         G
And wasted time can make a man grow old (a man grow old)
