Drinking With The Girls
The Good Life

C Bm
C
You thought you had it made like the songs would write themselves
Bm
But your words ran out of ink and your fingers lost the chords
C
You lay around so bored and you hit the bar at two
Bm
And you waste your time on girls they know they're getting used
C
They love the pain that you create the drunken fights you fabricate
Bm
'Cause they've been hurt too worse than you
C
You told yourself it's not your fault you told them not to get involved
Bm
Some bullshit excuse to escape unbruised
G C C/B
But they move on while you're stuck hating yourself deprecation
Am G
Your self centered songs
C C/B
The space you've created
Am G
Between your words and your actions
E
These loveless liaisons have left you alone
Am G C
All you've gain is a lose
C Bm
C
You really wish it wasn't like it was but like before that time
C
You wished it was a little more than how you felt before that time
Bm
You made a wish to think the way you felt when you were young
Bm
When you realized you'd never ever, ever know a love
C
You wished and prayed and you tried to stay in love or at least in your lover's good graces
Bm
Just keep it going, just keep it going
G
'Cause when they leave the drinks get stronger
C G
And much, much more frequent
Am G
For the sloppy drunk boys
C G
Who hide in their basements
Am G
Where the songs write themselves
E
Yeah it used to be easy before we got lazy
Am G C
and drank with the girls
G Am G
No, no I know it's not your fault
C G Am G
No, no no, no, no you said not to get involved
C G
Whatever makes you happy
E Am
Whatever you need to believe
G C G
in all these self afflicted tradgedies
E
You scribble them down on that miserable sound
Am G C
I guess this is the goodlife
G Am G
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby let it go
C G Am G
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no baby let it go
E
Self deprecation has made it's translation
Am G C
