Wishful Drinking
KEY OF C
VERSE 1
(I) Every night, I sit right here,
flippin (IV) bottlecaps on the (I) bar
(I) Same old fool on the same old stool,
nursin (II7) booze and a broken (V) heart
Its (I) been like this, ever since
you (IV) tore my world in (II7) two
Just a (I) ninety proof distraction
to (V) help me make it (I) through (I7)
CHORUS
(IV) Whiskey makes me dream of me and you
And way back (I) when
I (IV) almost get to thinking
It could be that way (V) again
And I see (I) you and me together
With a brand new (IV) start
But that’s (I) only wishful (V) drinking, on my (I) part
VERSE 2
It’s funny how every night
I start to dream you’re holdin me
Better times in a different life
just a break from reality
Tonight is no exception
I’m lost in thoughts with you
But you leave me right about the time
They shut the doors at two
