Cole Phillips - Drinking Alone

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
G Cadd9
(x2)

[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
Drinking alone, lucky number 7 in my red solo
G Cadd9
Only 16, and headed down a road that I don’t wanna go
G Cadd9
Drinking this liquor and smoking this weed in the Oklahoma cold
G Cadd9
Whole bar rounds, fake I.D.’s, and living life alone

[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
Got a bad crowd to run around with that my mom warned me about
G Cadd9
It’s hard for her to know about my life when I’m never at the house
G Cadd9
I know God’s watching and I feel my life has really let him down
G Cadd9
Pop’s always said no matter the hurt, don’t let your hat frown

[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I sit in this dark room just drinkin’ alone
Em Cadd9
Nothin’ but some Jack and Merle on the radio
G Cadd9
I’ve gotta find a way out of this empty home
Em Cadd9
But I live in the present so I’m drinking alone

[Verse 3]
G Cadd9
Pounding headache and thеn another drink to make the pain go away
G Cadd9
I’m a cowboy, gotten used to ladies begging me to stay
G Cadd9
But I work all day, so I jump in the Ford and slowly drive away
G Cadd9
Meet another girl at the bar, just to give me a place to stay

[Chorus]
G Cadd9
I sit in this dark room just a drinkin’ alone
Em Cadd9
Nothin’ but some shine and Zach Bryan on the radio
G Cadd9
I’ve gotta find a way out of this empty home
Em Cadd9
But I’ll do that tomorrow cause I’m drinkin’ alone

[Outro]
G Cadd9
Wake up in the back of a speedin’ ambulance with my mom by my side
G Cadd9
Watchin’ my life fade away, I think I’m about to flatline
G Cadd9
Mama tellin’ me, screamin’, and cryin’ she can’t watch me go
G Cadd9
Last words to mama was I was in the dark just a-drankin’ alone
