[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G
First time I was so into him, I didn't care
C
I thought, "hell, I've been drunk too, yeah, I've been there"
G
When everybody's on a party high, the bar is set real low
C
He seemed like everybody else, how was I supposed to know?
Am7
That "I'll have one"
D
Always means one too many
[Chorus]
Em G
Then it's holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em7 C
Crying in a bathroom stall
G
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
Em G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He'll come over and apologize
G/B Am7
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
C Cm
But you know the truth is that he's just
G C
The boy who cried drunk
[Verse 2]
G
And for a week, he'll be the man you want him to be
C
Treat you better than he ever has
C
So you don't wanna leave
Am
You keep trying to save him
D G D
But that's why he ain't changing
[Chorus]
Em G
From holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em7 C
Crying in a bathroom stall
G
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
Em G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He'll come over and apologize
G/B Am7
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
C Cm
But you know the truth is that he's just
Em
The boy who cried drunk
[Guitar Solo]
Em G C Em G C
[Bridge]
Am7
He'll keep crying drunk 'til
C
You stop giving in to
[Chorus]
Em G
Holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em C
Crying 'cause he lost it all
G
And he knows you ain't coming back again
Em G
And he'll wake up, swollen red eyes
C
No one left to apologize to
Am7
'Cause you've finally had enough
C Cm
And you know, the truth is that he's just
G
The boy who cried drunk
[Outro]
G C G C
First time I was so into him, I didn't care
I thought, "hell, I've been drunk too, yeah, I've been there"
When everybody's on a party high, the bar is set real low
He seemed like everybody else, how was I supposed to know?
That "I'll have one"
Always means one too many
Then it's holes punched in the wall
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Crying in a bathroom stall
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
He'll come over and apologize
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
But you know the truth is that he's just
The boy who cried drunk
And for a week, he'll be the man you want him to be
Treat you better than he ever has
So you don't wanna leave
You keep trying to save him
But that's why he ain't changing
From holes punched in the wall
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Crying in a bathroom stall
'Cause he's fighting in the parking lot again
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
He'll come over and apologize
And say it's only 'cause he drank too much
But you know the truth is that he's just
The boy who cried drunk
He'll keep crying drunk 'til
You stop giving in to
Holes punched in the wall
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Crying 'cause he lost it all
And he knows you ain't coming back again
And he'll wake up, swollen red eyes
No one left to apologize to
'Cause you've finally had enough
And you know, the truth is that he's just
The boy who cried drunk
