INTRO

  B7 , D7 , A7 , A7 - Bb7 - B7 , D7 , A7 

  VERSE ONE 
  B7 D7 A7 A7 - Bb7 
  Alchohol, my permanent accessory 
  B7 D7 A7 A7 - Bb7 
  Alchohol, a party time necessity 
  B7 D7 A7 F#m7 
  Alchohol, alternative to feeling like yourself 
  D E A , E , A , E , 
  Oh, alchohol, I still drink to your health 

  CHORUS 
  A E F#m7 A7 - Bb7 - B7 D A E 
  I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alchohol 

  VERSE TWO 
  B7 D7 A7 A7 - Bb7 
  Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea 
  B7 D7 A7 A7 - Bb7 
  A Malibu and Coke for you, a G. and T. for me 
  B7 D7 A7 F#m7 
  Alchohol, your songs resolve like my life never will 
  D E A , E , A , E 
  When someone else is picking up the bill 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  F#m7 D E F#m7 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me? 
  D E F#m7 D E A , E 
  For while I cannot love myself, I'll use something else 

  BRIDGE 
  A A/Ab A/G D/F# D A 
  I thought that alchohol was just for those with nothing else to do 
  A A/Ab A/G Dm/F A 
  I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze 
  A/Ab A/G Dm/F A 
  But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose

  A/Ab A/G D E 
  To walk the fine line between self control and self abuse 

  [During piano solo play intro] 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  E F#m7 B7 D7 
  Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor 
  A E 
  trying on your camisole? 
  F#m7 D E F#m7 D E F#m7 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself

  D E A9 
  I'll use something else
