(Bb)tryin' to scatch my way up to the top.

'Cause my (Dm)job's got me going (Am)nowhere,

so I (Bb)ain't got a thing to lose.

Take me (Dm)to a place where I (Am)don't care;

this is (Bb)me and my liquor store blues.

I'll take (Dm)one shot for my pain,

(Bb)one drag for my sorrow.

(Dm)Get messed up today, I'll (Bb7)be okay tomorrow.

(Dm)One shot for my pain, (Bb7)one drag for my sorrow.
