Pills and whiskey

Pills and whiskey

G C
Pills and whiskey
G C
Are all that keep me
G D C
From jumpin’ into the river
G C
Pills and whiskey
G C
Are all that can save me
G D C
From sayin goodbye forever

Am C G
Oh the world is a sad sorry mess any sane man would leave
Am C D
If I’m a sad sorry mess too I just might survive
Am C G
When greed has corrupted every decent thing left to believe
Am C D
It’s only pills and whiskey that can keep decent people alive

Pills and whiskey
Are all that keep me
From jumpin’ into the river
Pills and whiskey
Are all that can save me
From sayin goodbye forever

If you’re not making money you can’t get your name on the door
Don’t bother waiting for someone to welcome you in
Just walk away whistling doing your best to ignore
And wait for the cure of the whiskey and pills to kick in

Bridge?
Bm C
Some people say that I’ve given up
Bm C D
That I bite the hand from which I sup
C D
But I’m not saying that my way’s right
C G D
It’s just the only way I know how to fight
C D
I gotta laugh and walk away
C D
Give em two fingers and be on my way

Pills and whiskey
Are all that keep me
From jumpin’ into the river
Pills and whiskey
Are all that can save me
From sayin goodbye forever
