[Verse 1]
A D
Babe you got me up a tree, way up on a limb
E A
You told me lies, you let me on, then turned me down for him
A D
You took my heart, tore it all apart, and then threw it away
E A
Now that its all over baby, heres all I can say, oh!
[Chorus]
A D
Take my glass, fill it up, and fill it to the brim
E A
If I cant drown my sorrows baby, I'll teach em how to swim
A D
If I cant teach em how to swim, I'll teach em how to float
E A
So please just pass, one more glass, to grease my dusty throat
[Verse 2]
A D
Grandpa swallowed his first drink, when he was only eight
E A
the doctor warned him then and there, to stop before it was too late
A D
But grandpa was a headstrong man, he didnt heed the plea
E A
Now he done drank himself to death, he died at 93
[Verse 3]
A D
So since my grandpa lives alone, I wanna be like him
E A
If I cant drown my troubles baby, I'll teach em how to swim
A D
So, here I sit, in this old bar, my futures looking dim
E A
If I cant drown my troubles baby I'll teach em how to swim, oh!
[Chorus]
A D
take my glass, fill it up, fill it to the brim
E A
If I cant drown my troubles babe, I'll teach em how to swim
A D
If I cant teach em how to swim, I'll teach em how to float
E A
So please just pass, one more glass, to grease my dusty throat
