[Verse]
D
I wish I was still drinking
D
Whiskey wine and beer
D G A
The sound of glasses clinking so sweet to my ear
D G Bm
I wouldn’t have to listen to the time that’s running out
D
I use it much more wisely
A D
I drink and fall about
[Verse]
G
I wish I was still drinking
D
Then I’ll have no fear
G A
I’d tell you how to fix the world then have another beer
G Bm
I wouldn’t have to feel the pain that’s in a mother’s eyes
D | D |
I drink till I believe the sound
G D
of my own drunken lies
[Bridge]
| G A | Bm |
| G A | D |
[Verse]
D
I wish I was still drinking
D
When nothing is to clear
D G A
Like the TV evangelist fuelling peoples fear
D G Bm
Taking all their hard-earned cash in the name of the holy one
D
The days are surely numbered
A D
The days will surely come
[Verse]
G
I wish I was still drinking
D
I was a lot more fun
G A
Life of the endless party, friends with anyone
G Bm
I wouldn’t have to answer for the promises I broke
D
Like the president today,
A D
or when he drank and snorted coke
[Bridge]
| G A | Bm |
| G A | D |
[Verse]
D
I wish I was still drinking
D
Then I wouldn’t have to hear
D G A
Sound of rapid gun fire exploding in my ear
D G Bm
I drink through the nightmares of friends crying out for help
D
I would drink through everything
A D
I’ve seen or heard or felt
[Verse]
G
I wish I was still drinking
D
I really really do
G A
I get it on my fair-weather friends, like him and her and you
G Bm
I count all the missing teeth that can no longer chew
D | D | D |
I even drive my old white car
A D
Cause she likes drinking to
[Verse]
D
I wish I was still drinking
D
Whiskey wine and beer
D G A
The sound of glasses clinking so sweet to my ear
D G Bm
I wouldn’t have to listen to the time that’s running out
D | D | D | D | D |
I use it much more wisely
A A
I drink and fall about
[Outro]
