Darling I recognize that glare in your eyes 
     F                   G
when I'm about to get the business
    C                          E
But before you complain please let me explain
  F                         G
I think you'll understand my position
E                           Am
You’ve read all those books I know your looks, 
          F                          G
You think people who drink solo have problems
            C
But I ain’t drinkin alone
G                        C                    G
I’m on the phone with my brother

C                             E
Now my brother it seems is as confounded as me 
       F                  G
by the art of the marital tradition
      C                               E
So we drink and we dial and shoot the breeze for a while
          F                     G
Heck it’s just like we were out fishin
         E                         Am
And it’s well after nine, it don’t cost us a dime
F                        G
We think it’s an elegant solution
         C
We ain’t drinkin alone
G                           C              G
We’re on the phone with our brother


Am                       Em
And the good news is I’m right here for you
F               G
As close as the garage
    Am                   Em
The kegerator and me and AT&T
F                               G
And my brother if you’d like to say hello
        C
I ain’t drinkin alone                    
G                        C                 G
I’m on the phone with my brother

C                                          E                                 
Darling, you are my spouse and you got some rules for our house
      F                    G
And I sure do respect your decisions    
           C                     E
But if you just calm down you’ll see that I found
  F                      G
A loophole in the social condition
     E               Am
Well I love beer and I love you
F                       G
Not necessarily in that order
        C
I ain’t drinkin alone
G                        C                 G
I’m on the phone with my brother

Am                       Em
And the good news is I’m right here for you    
F               G
As close as the garage                       
    Am                   Em
The kegerator and me and AT&T
F                               G
And my brother if you’d like to say hello

C                                E
You wouldn’t hear me complain if you did the same
         F                     G
Get some wine and go call your sister
     C
I ain’t drinking alone
G                        C                 G
I’m on the phone with my brother
