INTRO

  B5 , D5 , A5 , A5 - Bb5 - B5 , D5 , A5 

  VERSE ONE 
  B5 D5 A5 A5 - Bb5 
  Alchohol, my permanent accessory 
  B5 D5 A5 A5 - Bb5 
  Alchohol, a party time necessity 
  B5 D5 A5 F#5 
  Alchohol, alternative to feeling like yourself 
  D5 E5 A5 , E5 , A5 , E5 , 
  Oh, alchohol, I still drink to your health 

  CHORUS 
  A5 E5 F#5 A5 - Bb5 - B5 D5 A5 E5 
  I love you more than I did the week before I discovered alchohol 

  VERSE TWO 
  B5 D5 A5 A5 - Bb5 
  Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea 
  B5 D5 A5 A5 - Bb5 
  A Malibu and Coke for you, a G. and T. for me 
  B5 D5 A5 F#5 
  Alchohol, your songs resolve like my life never will 
  D5 E5 A5 , E5 , A5 , E5 
  When someone else is picking up the bill 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  F#5 D5 E5 F#5 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me? 
  D5 E5 F#5 D5 E5 A5 , E5 
  For while I cannot love myself, I'll use something else 

  BRIDGE 
  A5 A5 A5 D5 D5 A5 
  I thought that alchohol was just for those with nothing else to do 
  A5 A5 A5 D5 A5 
  I thought that drinking just to get drunk was a waste of precious booze 
  A5 A5 D5 A5 
  But now I know that there's a time and there's a place where I can choose

  A5 A5 D5 E5 
  To walk the fine line between self control and self abuse 

  [During piano solo play intro] 

  CHORUS (as above) 
  E5 F#5 B5 D5 
  Would you please ignore that you found me on the floor 
  A5 E5 
  trying on your camisole? 
  F#5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 E5 F#5 
  Oh, alchohol, would you please forgive me, for while I cannot love myself

  D5 E5 A5 
  I'll use something else 

  OUTRO
