A               G 
Pass me the lampshade 
D               G D 
I'm drunk again 
A               G 
Blew my drug money 
D               G D 
on a quart of gin 
A               G 
Well I am a cultured man 
D               G D 
with tastes, discriminating 
A               G 
But I'll settle for a tall glass 
D 
of anything 

Riff on A G D G D 

Fell in love with love 
and  death and darkness 
If I'm a bad drunk, well 
it's not for lack of practice 
There is no, this is no 
modern romance 
Cause I'm goin' home 
in a fuckin' ambulance 

F#              E 
Well, am I the only one drinkin' 
D       E D 
tonight? 
F#              E 
The only one drinkin' 
D       E D 
tonight? 
E               G 
Spring break gon'n broke 
F# 
its sprung 
E               G      D 
Now I'm the only one 

Riff on A G D G D 

 A              G 
Mirror and medicine cabinet door 
D               G D 
Like the hatch of a submarine 
A               G 
Bottles inside like buttons and dials 
D               G D 
and tiny back-lit screens 
A               G 
Bloody footprints on the 
D 
bathroom floor 
A               G 
In a hotel close to the airport 

F#              E 
Well am I the only one drinkin' 
D       E D 
tonight? 
F#              E 
The only one drinkin' 
D       E D 
tonight 
E               G 
Despair's an octopus 
F# 
with its head in New Hampshire 
E               G              D 
and tentacles everywhere 
F#              E 
Well am I the only one drinkin' 
D       E D 
tonight? 
F#              E              D 
The only one drinkin' tonight? X2
