Sitting in a bar - it's late and I should be home
G C D D
The band is cranking it out and I'm all alone
C D G C
In the middle of a crowd of couples all holding hands
G D G G
There's no place for a man just looking for a one night stand
G C D G
Play me another drinking song
G C D G
Keep it simple so I can sing along
C D BM Em
Love songs only cause me pain
C D D G
So drain your glass let's sing again
The barman tells me, 'Son ain't you had enough?
If you drink up now you'll have time to catch your bus'
So I ask for another beer, light a cigarette
I'm not drinking to get drunk, I'm only drinking to forget
Play me another drinking song
Keep it simple so I can sing along
Love songs only cause me pain
So drain your glass let's sing again
(Solo)
(2 3 and)
Play me another drinking song
Keep it simple so I can sing along
Love songs only cause me pain
So drain your glass let's sing again
A touch on my shoulder 'Are you looking for some company?
You look like a lonely man, come sit by me
Tell me about your problems, I'll tell you mine
Order a beer and I'll have a glass of wine
(While the band can)
Play me another drinking song
Keep it simple so I can sing along
Love songs only cause me pain
So drain your glass let's sing again
So we talk, neither listens, the band is playing too loud
We dance to the music and sway along with the crowd
My memory is bad and it seems that hers is worse
As we sing to the chorus and la-la-la to the verse
(All together now)
Play me another drinking song
Keep it simple so I can sing along
Love songs only cause me pain
So drain your glass let's sing again
Play me another drinking song
Keep it simple so I can sing along
Love songs only cause me pain
So drain your glass let's sing again
