Verse 1:

C9         G
  Baby, I'm embarrassed
C9                      G
  I'm still wearing all my clothes
C9                 Em7
 It's my fault, I was careless
                 D
Now I don't know how this goes
C9                          G
 I'm a little worried nothin's spinnin'
C9                G
 I can walk a steady line
C9            Em7
 This unusual condition
         D
Wasn't by design


Chorus 1:

C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D                       C9   
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
   Em/D        D/F#    G
My clarity hangover
C9
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D                 C9                       Em/D         
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                     D/F#    G
There's no sense in staying
Am                     C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober


Verse 2:

C9         G
 I'm so heavy headed
C9                     G
 I tried one foot off the floor
C9               Em7
 I know that I'll regret it
                 D
But I don't want any more
C9               G
 I wasn't trying to feel this
C9                  G
 When I woke up on the street
C9              Em7
 With all my weary senses
                 D
Swept back on my feet


Chorus 2:

C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D                       C9   
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
  Em/D         D/F#    G
My clarity hangover
  C9
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D                 C9                       Em/D
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                      D/F#    G
There's no sense in staying
C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D
Sorry, I'm a little sober


Solo:  Am - C9 - G - G/f# - Em7 - D - C9


Verse 3:

C9                G
 The glow and the forgetting
C9              G
 The blurriness of it
Bm                      Em7
 The thing is, I don't know you
            D/F# - D - D/F# - G
I never really did


Chorus 3:

C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D                       C9 
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
  Em/D         D/F#    G
My clarity hangover
  C9
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D                 C9                       Em/D
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                      D/F#    G
There's no sense in staying
Am                  C9
Sorry, I'm a little sober
G  G/f# D  C9  G  G/F#
Woooooo
