Full Song

Verse 1

G C

They call it a problem, I call it a solution

G D

Just sitting here with all my grand illusions

G C

I ain’t living for tomorrow or the life that I am leaving behind

G D

And if I wind up less than perfect, well it’s perfectly fine

Chorus

C

And they say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

That ain’t no reason to stop

D

They say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

But I got no problem drinkin’ at all

Verse 2

G C

I got the kind of medicine that money can’t buy

G D

You can’t get it from a doctor or a rock up on a mountain so high

G C

It’s been a long day, I’m counting on the night

G D

To do what it does so well, make everything alright

Chorus

C

And they say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

That ain’t no reason to stop

D

They say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

But I got no problem drinkin’ at all

Bridge

Am C

Poured up, poured up

G

I’m on the rocks, I’m on the rocks

Am C

Poured up, poured up

G

I’m on the rocks, I’m on the rocks

Verse 3

G C

I got the kind of buzz that’ll never wear off

G D

I’m gonna ride this train ’til the train runs off the tracks

G C

I’m gonna drink it ’til the glass is dry

G D

And if you think that I’ll be sorry, you got another think comin’

Chorus

C

And they say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

That ain’t no reason to stop

D

They say I got a drinkin’ problem

G

But I got no problem drinkin’ at all
