S1: I've seen a lot of people request this one all over the place, and
it's already in the archive, but it's way off so I had to set things
right. On the CD they use guitar capo 2, and it sounds better that way.
During the verses and intro the B7, D7, and are all bar chords., INTRO
B7, D7, A7, --B7, D7,
VERSE ONE
[B7] [D7] [A7] [A7]-[Bb7]
Alchohol, my permanent accessory
[B7] [D7] [A7] [A7]-[Bb7]
Alchohol, a party time necessity
Alchohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
A, E, A, E,
Oh, alchohol, I still drink to your health
CHORUS
--
I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alchohol
VERSE TWO
[B7] [D7] [A7] [A7]-[Bb7]
Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
[B7] [D7] [A7] [A7]-[Bb7]
Malibu and Coke for you, a . and T. for me
Alchohol, your songs resolve like my life never will
A, E, A,
When someone else is picking up the bill
CHORUS (as above)
Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me?
A,
For while I cannot love myself, I'll use something else
BRIDGE
I thought that alchohol was just for those with nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between self control and self abuse
[During piano solo play intro]
CHORUS (as above)
Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor
trying on your camisole?
Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
OUTRO
A9, (x4 and end on )
