[Verse]
C                 E           Am
He wakes up has a drink or two
C                  E          Am
He has two more to follow suit
C                 E             Am
By 12 hes falling down the stairs
C                 E           Am
By 1 hes thinking no one cares

[Verse]
   C             E              Am
He struggles to iron his clothes
             C
He said that he'd be out
     E            Am
'til god who knows?
        C
And his badge is
         E           Am
fixed to his left arm
   C
He stinks of drink
    E             Am
yet hes still calm

      C               E            Am
So he wakes again and blows off work
   C               E          Am
He looks at me and gives a smirk
  C                E       Am
A smirk i'll never see again
   C                 E            Am
The drink its stolen my best friend
