[Intro]
C  D  G  Em  C  D  G

[Verse]
 Am                 C        D
Somebody hand me a cigarette
                G
I know I ain't had one
            Em
 in over a week
                    C
Somebody pour me a double shot
 D
Been getting better by the
  G                 Am7
 day but tonight I drink

           Am       C
You say I gotta get over you
         D
And get sober too
         G
I got a lot of habits
          Em
I gotta kick

     C
But weigh out all
       D
 your options
               G   Am7
And take your pick

[Chorus]
Am
And I can either burn
       C       D
the bar down
                    G
Or I can take your number
          Em
 out my phone
                   C        D
I can give you up right now
                    G
And never want you back long
              Am7
 as I'm half stoned

        Am         C
If you want me to quit you
            D
Want me to get you out of my
  G                     Em
 heart and baby off my mind

                   C
I hate to tell ya girl
              D
But I'm only quitting one
             G
thing at a time

[Verse]
Am                    C       D
I know I got me some problems
                  G
About a thousand memories
            Em
 I gotta forget

But if I'm gonna solve 'em

If you ain't gonna kiss
me tonight
           D
Take some whiskey, some grizzly
     G                     Em
And nicotine, amphetamines too

                C
You want me to stop

And never want you back long
              Am7
 as I'm half stoned

        Am         C
If you want me to quit you
            D
Want me to get you out of my
  G                    Em
heart and baby off my mind
                   C
I hate to tell ya girl
              D

            C
I ain't no Superman
              D
I'm just the way I am
              G
If I'm gonna move on
And I need me something
 Em7
in my hand
               C             D
Ain't nothing wrong with that
                  G
And if you ain't coming back

[Chorus]
Am
I can either burn the
  C       D

I can give you up right now
                    G
And never want you back

Want me to get you out of my

I hate to tell ya girl
