[Verse]
Em
I woke up on the ground
C
I guess I should have kept that shit to myself
Am
Turns out I'm pretty good at running my mouth
Bm C
But not good enough (Not good enough)
Em
You know when I go in, it's lights out
C
I couldn't hear a thing 'cause the song was too loud
Am Bm
Last night I had 32 teeth in my mouth
C
Some went away
N.C
Why'd you have to go and fuckin' ruin my day?
[Chorus]

You're the reason why I got my ass kicked
C
But you're the only way to drown my sadness

This is my love-hate letter out to alcohol

You're the reason why I got my ass kicked

I was laid out flat like a centerfold
Jakey and his partner drove me home
C
Lookin' in the mirror, something's wrong
Let mе get my dentist on the phonе
Am
Found my keys and I went back out
Bm
Someone asked me how it all went down
C
But I remember like it's yesterday
Em
I took a shot, took a shot, took a shot, took another shot
C
Fell right out my fuckin' chair, swinging for his eye
Am Bm
Then a big chrome ring flew in from the side
C
I thought I died
N.C
Why'd you have to go and fuckin' ruin my night?

Em
You're the reason why I got my ass kicked
C
But you're the only way to drown my sadness

This is my love-hate letter out to alcohol

You're the reason why I got my ass kicked
