Verse 1:

C5         G5
  Baby, I'm embarrassed
C5                      G5
  I'm still wearing all my clothes
C5                 E5
 It's my fault, I was careless
                 D5
Now I don't know how this goes
C5                          G5
 I'm a little worried nothin's spinnin'
C5                G5
 I can walk a steady line
C5            E5
 This unusual condition
         D5
Wasn't by design


Chorus 1:

C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D5                       C5   
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
   E5        D5    G5
My clarity hangover
C5
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D5                 C5                       E5         
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                     D5    G5
There's no sense in staying
A5                     C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober


Verse 2:

C5         G5
 I'm so heavy headed
C5                     G5
 I tried one foot off the floor
C5               E5
 I know that I'll regret it
                 D5
But I don't want any more
C5               G5
 I wasn't trying to feel this
C5                  G5
 When I woke up on the street
C5              E5
 With all my weary senses
                 D5
Swept back on my feet


Chorus 2:

C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D5                       C5   
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
  E5         D5    G5
My clarity hangover
  C5
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D5                 C5                       E5
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                      D5    G5
There's no sense in staying
C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D5
Sorry, I'm a little sober

Verse 3:

C5                G5
 The glow and the forgetting
C5              G5
 The blurriness of it
B5                      E5
 The thing is, I don't know you
            D5 - D5 - D5 - G5
I never really did


Chorus 3:

C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober
D5                       C5 
 In the morning I'll be nursing and cursing
  E5         D5    G5
My clarity hangover
  C5
I didn't mean to leave you swaying
D5                 C5                       E5
 But now that I've stopped seeing double, you know
                      D5    G5
There's no sense in staying
A5                  C5
Sorry, I'm a little sober
G5  G/f# D5  C5  G5  G5
Woooooo
