G 
He?d get home at five-thirty 
                                C 
Fix a drink and sit down in his chair 
D 
Pick a fight with momma 
                                       G 
Complain about the kids gettin? in his hair 
At night he?d sit alone and smoke 
                                      C 
I?d see his frown behind the lighters flame 
         D 
Now that same frowns in my mirror 
                                 G 
I got my daddy?s blood inside my veins. 
 
(Chorus:) 
     G           C 
Fish swim, birds fly 
        D             G 
Daddys? yell, mommas? cry 
                C  B  A D 
Old men sit and think 
  G 
I Drink. 
 
G 
Chicken TV dinner 
                                C 
Six minutes on defrost three on high 
D 
Beer to wash it down then another 
                    G 
Some whiskey on the side 
It?s not so bad alone here 
                              C/G        C 
It don?t bother me that every nights the same 
        D 
I don?t need another lover hangin? around 
                  G 
Tryin? to make me change. 
 
(Chorus:) 
G           C 
Fish swim, birds fly 
       D             G 
Lovers leave, by and by 
                C  B  A D 
Old men sit and think 
  G 
I Drink. 
 
 
  Bm           C 
I know, what I am 
    Bm       C      D 
But I don?t, give a damn. 
 
Chorus1: 
 
G C  B  A D 
  G 
I Drink.
