          G                   Am 
Here's my keys, I want you to take 'em. 
                  C                    D 
I think I'm gonna need you to get back home. 
              G                  Am 
Hold on to my hat, I don't wanna lose it. 
           C                              D 
I couldn't stand for something else to be gone. 
Am                           D 
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here crying, 
Am                        D 
I think you'll understand why. 
 
 
  G                         Am 
Tonight, I'm the designated drinker. 
       C                                      D 
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger. 
          G                    Am 
I need to get to where I can't think of her, 
     C      D                  C   G 
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

       G                  Am 
I came here to get you to help me, 
         C                D 
I need a friend to see me through. 
           G                         Am 
I hated to call, I knew you wouldn't mind at all. 
           C                        D 
I know you know I'd do the same for you. 
Am                             D 
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrow, 
Am                  D 
I may hate myself tomorrow. 
 
      
    G                           Am 
But tonight, I'm the designated drinker. 
       C                                      D 
I just lost the one that wrapped me round her finger. 
          G                    Am 
I need to get to where I can't think of her, 
     C      D                  C   G     
So tonight, I'm the designated drinker.

We need to get to where we can't think of her,

So tonight, we're the designated drinkers. 
        C     D                    C   G                
Woah, tonight we're the designated drinkers.
