Darling I recognize that glare in your eyes 
     F5                   G5
when I'm about to get the business
    C5                          E5
But before you complain please let me explain
  F5                         G5
I think you'll understand my position
E5                           A5
You?ve read all those books I know your looks, 
          F5                          G5
You think people who drink solo have problems
            C5
But I ain?t drinkin alone
G5                        C5                    G5
I?m on the phone with my brother

C5                             E5
Now my brother it seems is as confounded as me 
       F5                  G5
by the art of the marital tradition
      C5                               E5
So we drink and we dial and shoot the breeze for a while
          F5                     G5
Heck it?s just like we were out fishin
         E5                         A5
And it?s well after nine, it don?t cost us a dime
F5                        G5
We think it?s an elegant solution
         C5
We ain?t drinkin alone
G5                           C5              G5
We?re on the phone with our brother


A5                       E5
And the good news is I?m right here for you
F5               G5
As close as the garage
    A5                   E5
The kegerator and me and AT&T
F5                               G5
And my brother if you?d like to say hello
        C5
I ain?t drinkin alone                    
G5                        C5                 G5
I?m on the phone with my brother

C5                                          E5                                 
Darling, you are my spouse and you got some rules for our house
      F5                    G5
And I sure do respect your decisions    
           C5                     E5
But if you just calm down you?ll see that I found
  F5                      G5
A loophole in the social condition
     E5               A5
Well I love beer and I love you
F5                       G5
Not necessarily in that order
        C5
I ain?t drinkin alone
G5                        C5                 G5
I?m on the phone with my brother

A5                       E5
And the good news is I?m right here for you    
F5               G5
As close as the garage                       
    A5                   E5
The kegerator and me and AT&T
F5                               G5
And my brother if you?d like to say hello

C5                                E5
You wouldn?t hear me complain if you did the same
         F5                     G5
Get some wine and go call your sister
     C5
I ain?t drinking alone
G5                        C5                 G5
I?m on the phone with my brother
