C#m B A B C#m B A B 


[Verse 1]
C#m          B
Don’t slow down
                A           B
Keep the ceiling spinning around
       C#m                 B
If you slow you know the truth
                  A    
Will catch you tomorrow 
B                          C#m            B
You think the bottom of a glass holds peace.
          A                  B
Whiskey brings you sweet relief.
            C#m           B
But it’s a liar, it’s a thief.
                             A     B
You can’t drink away your sorrow.


[Chorus]
E       B     A       B          E      
Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?
         B              A    B
Now I’m high and wide awake.     
E            B         A       B                   E
I wanted to run to you, so my eyes could see your face.
           B            A
Someone’s lying in my place
    B                     C#m B A B
So now I’m getting wasted.


[Verse 2]
      C#m       B
Last call for drinks
            A                 B
You raise another glass and clink
                C#m            B
Clink until the bar stool you sink
                  A
I’m watching you wallow.
                      C#m             B
Oh there’s many women here you could meet
               A                B
If you could stand on your two feet
             C#m                 B
But you’re stumblin’ street to street 
                        A        B
Trying to drink away tomorrow


[Chorus]
E       B     A       B          E      
Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?
         B              A    B
Now I’m high and wide awake.     
E            B         A       B                   E
I wanted to run to you, so my eyes could see your face.
           B            A
Someone’s lying in my place
    B                     C#m B A B
So now I’m getting wasted.


[Bridge]
     E 
The first drink makes you
A              F
Second drink fakes you
E            B          A     F             
Three drinks you break down 
E             B
Four drinks wreck you
A               F
Five, someone decks you
E            B        A     B 
Six drinks wake the dead


[Chorus]
E       B     A       B          E      
Was I lied to? Was I lying to myself?
         B              A    B
Now I’m high and wide awake.     
E            B         A       B                   E
I wanted to run to you, so my eyes could see your face.
           B            A
Someone’s lying in my place
    B                     C#m B
So now I’m getting wasted


[Outro]
   A               B
I’m getting wasted
A         F
Wasted   mmmmmm
