[B] I don't want to [F#7] sober up to[B]night

I don't want to [F#7] act like things are [B] alright

And [E] I don't want to change just to [E7] make you think I'm [B] happy

That's my right, I don't want to [F#7] sober up to[B]night

I want to keep [R1] my mind a little hazy [R2]

I don't care if all my friends think I'm crazy [R3]

The way I treat myself [R4] I might be a little crazy

But that's alright, [R5] I don't want to sober up tonight [R6]

I'm here to drown another day of misery

I'm in here to spend one night without a mem'ry

And the way I'm drinkin' now there won't be any memory

But that's alright, I don't want to sober up tonight
