Verse C C7 F Fm C G C G7
Chorus (Em D C C/B Am Am/G)x2 F G#

The moon is holding water,
but I can no longer hold my liquor
Before I leave I wanted to say goodnight

It's getting cold, I can't feel my teeth
Late last call's  is my liver's relief
Before I go I wanted to say goodnight

The tavern is in a straight line from me
It's the friendliest bar I've ever seen
Before I'm thrown, I wanted to say goodnight

Talked all night a voice beautiful
When the ligths came I saw her figure's full
Before I leave I wanted to say goodnight

It's a blessing that the pavements warm
I'll sleep right here until tomorrow morn
Before I leave I wanted to say goodnight

Who put this jack hammer inside my brain?
Who decided it's a good day for rain?
Before I leave I wanted to say goodnight

Interlude:
Em			G	
I know things haven't been right
C	C/B		Am Am/G
But I just can't see you tonight
You're troubled by what you've read
				Am/G F
But I got too much going on, in my head
		G#
I wish I was dead

Chorus:
C F C G C F C (F G) (F C)
