[Pre-Chorus]

^GAnd she said, "Honey, what's ^Emwrong?" I said, "Babe, what's ^Aright?" So we ^F#mstaggered off into the ^Gnight, ^Emoh ^AI'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm ^F#mlucky just to sleep at ^Gnight, ^Emoh So we ^Alinked arms and we ^F#mstaggered off into the ^Gnight ^EmDrunk, but overj^Aoyed ^F#m just to be emp^Gloyed

^GGesticulating wildly and ^Empassionate at cars ^AParked in the dark on the street, ^F#moh ^GI would've fallen in a hole ^Em If you didn't have my ^Ashoulders tight ^F#mYou're swaying like a see-saw ^GIf that's what it is to trust an^Emother, then you got it all ^ABut I don't know if I can ^F#mtrust my country anymore

[Pre-Chorus]

^GAnd she said, "Honey, what's ^Emwrong?" I said, "Babe, what's ^Aright?" So we ^F#mstaggered off into the ^Gnight, ^Emoh ^EmDrunk, but overj^Aoyed ^F#m just to be emp^Gloyed
