      A
On Monday she’s a meteor crashing to my world
Bringing heartache from the heavens, she’s an interstellar girl
      D
On Tuesday she’s the firework that turns the sky to art
     A
On Wednesday she’s a wrecking ball and she’s swinging for my heart
     G                                                     D
On Thursday night it’s happy our and she wants to quench my thirst
 
      A
But she don’t know what I’ve been through and she don’t know what I might do
               D
But I’m a whole lot of trouble honey
              A
I’m in a whole lot of trouble baby
G    D                           A         G    D                          A
Love is a drinking man’s game, love is a drinking man’s game
 
Friday night support group in a hotel out of town
I’m about to share my story with a room of broken men
When she walks in through a side door in a killer set of heels
Says ‘Boy you want to split this joint, I’ll show you how love feels’
She wants to be my weekend and I say yes she can
 
But she don’t know what I’ve been through and she don’t know what I might do
But I’m a whole lot of trouble honey
I’m in a whole lot of trouble baby
G    D                              A         G    D                            Em7
Love is a drinking man’s game, love is a drinking man’s game
 
                              A7                                Em7
She’s a glass of the good times – mix it up
                              A7                                Em7
A glass or two of the hard times – mix it up
                              A7                                G                       D                               D7
She’s a bottle of everything I want but the faster I drink the faster she’s gone
 
She don’t know what I’ve been through
And she don’t know what I might do
From D.U.I. to S.I.N. believe me when I tell you I’m a whole lot of trouble baby
Love is a drinking man’s game
Love is a drinking man’s game
