first "tab" so it might be wrong but it sounds right to me. Capo at 1 if your guitar is set to standard tuning I woke up this morning and I swore to God I'd never, ever take another drink again. I fought it like the devil but you know that you're in trouble when your fourteen and drunk by 10AM tried to hide it from my mom and dad all my friends said straighten up I just laughed and said you don't understand that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man at sixteen I was on my own flyin' high and staying stoned I knew everything there was to know I did things that I can't talk about I wore my mom and daddy out Late nights they spend prayin' for my soul Stayed sober once for nine days in a row I quit cold-turkey Dame near almost made it to ten But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can 'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man I don't know when or where it was Or how we met and fell in love Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me I tried to pull myself together Hopin' we could last forever For a while I started to believe Her daddy said, "She's all I got Son, don't ever break her heart Promise me before you take her hand" But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' man I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can 'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man I woke up this mornin' and I swore to god I'd never, ever take another drink again
