Please operator
Could you trace this call
F
Find out where I'm drinkin'
G G7
Which dirty beer hall
F
Send a cab driver
C Am
To call for me here
C
No need to describe me
G C
Cause I ain't all here
C
She told me to get lost
F C
And that's what I did
F
But I've done it so well
I don't know where I hid
G
And she swore that she never
Will see me again
G
Hell I'll never find me
In the shape that I'm in
Refrão

Now I had to ask myself
F C
If I were me
F
And I was out drinkin'
Well where would I be
G
Then I thumb nailed the label
And there I appeared
G
Hiding out in a bottle
Behind a 3-day old beard
Repete Refrão
F
Well I may be lonely
C
But, I'm never alone
F
Cause I've been beside myself

Since she's been gone
