Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I dri[Bm]nk
[G]I say things I don[A]'t want to say[Bm][D]
[G]I do things I don[A]'t wanna
[D]do[F#m][Bm][G]
I talk mean to [A]you[D]
But if I [Bm]think
[G]I just might get som[A]ething out of thi[Bm]s[D]
[G]My parents taught me to lea[A]rn
when I [D]mis[F#m] s[Bm][G]
Just do your [A]best[Bm]
Just do your [D]best

[Verse 2]
It's the [F#m]only way to keep
that [Em]last bit of sanity
[Bm]Maybe I don't have to be
[A]good but I can try to be
At [G]least a little better than
I've [A]been so far

[Verse 3]
[D]
'Cause when I [Bm]drink
[G]I hear things that are[A]n't really the[Bm]re[D]
[G]I feel things when I s[A]houldn't
really [D]care[F#m][Bm]
Have [G]fist fights with [A]the air[D]
But if I [Bm]think [G]about someone
[A]besides my[Bm]self[D]
[G]I lived through the sil[A]ver and the[D]
[F#m]bell[Bm][G]
With something to [A]tell[Bm]
Just do your [D]best
[F#m]It's the

[Verse 4]
only way to keep
that [Em]last bit of sanity
[Bm]Maybe I don't have to be
[A]good but I can try to be
At [G]least a little better than
I've [A]been so far

[Verse 5]
[D]
But when I [Bm]drink
[G]I spend the next mor[A]ning in a haz[Bm]e[D][G]
But we only [A]get so many
[D]days[F#m][Bm][G]
Now I have [A]one [Bm]less
Just do your [D]best

[Verse 6]
It's the [F#m]only way to keep
that [Em]last bit of sanity
[Bm]Maybe I don't have to be
[A]good but I can try to be
At [G]least a little better than I've [A]been so far
Oh, at [G]least a little better than I've [A]been so far
