Than I did the week before

I discovered alcohol

Would you please forgive me

For while I cannot love myself
D         E        A E A
I'll use something else

                A/G#
I thought that alcohol was
G                   F#m              A
Just for those with nothing else to do
               A/G#             G
I thought that drinking just to get drunk was
F                    A
A waste of precious booze
            A/G#              G
But now I know that there's a time and there's a
F                  A
Place where I can choose
            A/G#              G
To walk the fine line between self control
     D      E
and self abuse
The chords on the bridge are very much not accurate. I pretty much just fake it, and I wrote down what I fake. Wait for the piano book to come out.
