           B (x2444x@1)                 G#min
A little drunk is better than dead
                            B (x2444x@1)                  G#min
When they're strapping you down inside your own head
             B (x2444x@1)                     G#min
So you hang out with the man on the moon 
                  B (x2444x@1)                      BBut (x2444x@1)why does the morning have to come too soon?
              E (022100@1)                     C#min
When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic
           E (022100@1)                         C#min
All your radio is picking up is cheap static 
        E (022100@1)                      C#min
So you reach beneath your front seat 
         E (022100@1)                 C#min
For the taste of something sweet

::Chorus::
            B (x2444x@1)                            G#min
Well, just remember what the drowning man said

When you're tripping down the path that you were led 
                         B (x2444x@1)              G#min
When your ass has been slapped by too many doors
                           B (x2444x@1)                 G#min
And you think of all the good things you can't afford
                      E (022100@1)                      C#min
You can't find a good woman can't find a good job 
                  E (022100@1)                      C#min
You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob 
                  E (022100@1)                         C#min
You just can't swallow all the shit you've been fed 
                     E (022100@1)                      C#min
Been punched in the eye so much you only see red

A little lost is better than found
                           B (x2444x@1)                      G#min
When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground 
                      B (x2444x@1)                 G#min
But someone's always there to lend you a hand
                         B (x2444x@1)                   G#min
But too late you're already neck deep in quick sand
            E (022100@1)                 C#min
And you're sprawled out on some floor 
                  E (022100@1)                           C#min   
Some one call for help "Is he alive?  We're not sure"
             E (022100@1)                        C#min
Everybody's screaming, everyone's in a panic 
               E (022100@1)                       C#min
But you, your face is peaceful like it's plastic 
             B (x2444x@1)                  G#min
And as they roll him away on the stretcher
B (x2444x@1)                     G#min           B (x2444x@1) G#min
   We knew that he'd be drunk forever 
B (x2444x@1)               G#min                   
       I guess a little drunk is better
B  G#min  B  G#min
