[Intro: ](G) (A) (D)
You (D) know I love to drink my share
Of (G) whiskey, beer, and wine
But, (A) lately I've had one too many
One too many (D) times
So bartender, I've been thinkin' up
A (G) drinkin' resolution
I've (A) thought about it long and hard
And here is my sol(D)ution
(D) Cut me off at one tonight
That's gonna be my (G) limit
Let me (A) look out for my elbow
Watch how much I (D) bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
I gotta get home (G) early
So (A) cut me off at one tonight
Or about one (D) thirty
If they (D) ran a honky tonk marathon
I (G) know I'd win a prize
Cause (A) every night when I crawl home
The sun gets in my (D) eyes
But, tonight, it's gonna be different
I think I'm (G) finally comin' 'round
In (A) fact, I feel so good
I think I'll buy another (D) round
(D) Cut me off at two tonight
That's gonna be my (G) limit
Let me (A) look out for my elbow
Watch how much I (D) bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
I gotta get home (G) early
So (A) cut me off at two tonight
Or about two (D) thirty
Now, there's (G) more to life than fun and games
And it's (D) high time that I learned
There's (E) times you got to sacrfice
And I (A) guess that it's my turn
(D) Cut me off at three tonight
That's gonna be my (G) limit
Let me (A) look out for my elbow
Watch how much I (D) bend it
I can't stay out all night no more
I gotta get home (G) early
So (A) cut me off at three tonight
Or about three (D) thirty
So (A) cut me off at three tonight
Or about three (D) thirty
