Cheers darlin'  Here's to you and your lover boy 
Am            Dm       G               C        C/B 
Cheers darlin'  I got years to wait around for you

Cheers darlin'  I've got your wedding bells in my ear

Cheers darlin'  You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away 
 
 
And I die when you mention his name 
And I lied, I should have kissed you when we were running the reins 
 
What am I darlin'? 
A whisper in your ear? A piece of your cake? 
What am I, darlin? 
The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake? 
 
 
Cheers darlin' here's to you and your lover man 
Cheers darlin' I just hang around and eat from a can 
* Cheers darlin' I got a ribbon of green on my guitar 
  Cheers darlin' I got a beauty queen to sit not very far from here 
 
 
  * A 3rd gtr comes in here  (~~~ all notes)

What am I, darlin? 
The boy you can fear? Or your biggest mistake?
