Capo 1

{intro} [Db] [D] [Db] [D]

{verse}
I remember [D]too many [G]drinking [A]songs [C]
When I [D]broke the [A]bottle the [C]drink was all [G]gone
It's a [D]curse or [G]worse the [A]wine stained [C]letters
at the [D]bottom of your [A]purse
That say, [D]"I miss hanging with you" [G]
[D]"I miss laying with [A]y[G]ou"
I don't [D]want to grow old [Bm]drinking
But I [G]want to grow old drinking with [D]you

{verse}
I know too many drinking songs
When I broke the bottle the songs were all gone
I'm uphill until I crack my skull on the wagon wheel
But still I miss driving to you
I miss riding with you
I don't want to grow old drinking
But I want to grow old drinking with you

{chorus}
[A]You bring the [G]bottle [D] [A]I'll bring the [G]glass [D]
[A]We'll scrape the [G]bottom [D] and [Bm]swallow the bitters
[Em]pa[Em/F#]st[G]
I don't [D]want to grow old just [Bm]drinking [G]
[A]I could grow old [G]drinking with [D]you [riff] [G]

{intro}

[break into 'Norwegian Wood' at this point!]

{verse}
I remember too many drinking songs
When I broke the bottle drink songs they'd both gone
It's a curse or worse the wine stained letters at the bottom of your
purse
That say, "I miss hanging with you"
"I miss laying with you"
I don't want to grow old drinking
But I want to grow old drinking with you

{chorus}
You bring the bottle, I'll bring the glass
We'll scrape the bottom
And swallow the bitters past
I don't want to grow old drinking
But I want to grow old drinking with [D]you

{end}
I don't [Bm]want to grow old always [G]drinking
[A]I could grow old [G]drinking with [D]you
[Bm] [G]Drinking with [D]you x3
