Capo 3 
 
           D                   Bm 
If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be 
                 G                   A 
I'd get myself a bottle and you'd be history 
              D                 Bm 
You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out 
           G            A                    D 
If I was a drinkin' man, I wouldn't need you now 
      G                           D 
I've learned to live without you, one day at a time 
A                               D 
Even though you're always on my mind 
          G                          Bm 
There's a bar around the corner if I wanted to forget 
    E7                            A          
But I ain't givin' up on our love yet 
 
 
If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be  
I'd get myself abottle and you'd be history 
You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out 
If I was a drinkin' man, I wouldn't need you now 
 
 
Knowin' me like you do the kind of fool I've been 
You probably think I'm three sheets to the wind 
I wish that I could tell you that I'm feelin' no pain 
Oh you should see how much I've changed 
 
 
If I was a drinkin' man like I used to be 
I'd get myself a bottle and you'd be history 
You made me a thinkin' man when you walked out 
If I was a drinkin' man I wouldn't need you now 
If I was a drinkin' man I wouldn't need you now
