      B
Oh oh darling, will you ring me up?
         E                               F#
will you take me to the drive-in, make a bed of your truck?
      B
oh oh darling, I wouldn't die for you
            E                                   F#
but I might throw down in this dirt 'till these skinny knees turn blue
        B                     E    F#
just to beg a dance from you
       B
if I believe in it, what wetness fills this cup
      E                                     F#
can I turn it into hope or is it still just some whiskey shot?
        B
If it's money on my mind then it goes down rough
            E                              
but if it's heartbreak that is drowning us 
   F#              B      E    F#
it goes down easy enough
        B
well if lying up a storm hurts as bad as this
            E                      F#
why then do you insist lining your pockets with this?
               B
well you ought shovel out your bed and lay for dead in it
         E                         F#                 B
don't be calling me up when you're sad that I don't regret
     B
well ships go down and trains derail
E                  F#
tanks overturn and pilots bail
               B
but if there's one thing that I learned in all of this
              E                           F#             B
it's that sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
E                               F#             B    E    F#    B
sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
