verse 1: 
 
 
C#m                A 
     My girlfriend    is so beautiful 
 
E               B 
   She makes me breakfast and folds my shirts 
 
C#m                  A 
     There's no end     to her kindness 
 
E                        B 
   Shes the only one can make me laugh until it hurts 
 
C#m                   A 
     Her eye's shine,    her teeth sparkle 
 
E              B 
   She watches all my favorite shows 
 
A                                         B 
    But there's only one thing you should know 
 
 
 
 
E         B     C#m        A           E      B 
    Hey!     My girlfriend   is an alcoholic 
 
    C#m         A 
But nobody's perfect 
 
E         B     C#m        A            E     B 
    Hey!     My girlfriend   gets all demonic 
 
    C#m          A 
But I think she's worth it, when she 
 
E               B 
Drinks! Drinks! Fights at the bar! 
 
C#m             A 
Drinks! Drinks! Pukes in my car! 
 
  E               B        C#m          A 
I know that it's over, the minute she's sober 
 
E         B     C#m        C 
    Hey!     My girlfriend   is an alcoholic 
 
 
 
 
verse 2: 
 
 
C#m                 A 
     My girlfriend     loves yoga 
 
E                     B 
    She's a ringer at keg stands and body shots 
 
C#m              A 
    Does Pilates    then kamikazes 
 
E                    B 
    So sweet but you never wanna piss her off 
 
A                                           B 
    Cause there's only one thing you should know 
 
 
 
 
 
E         B     C#m        A           E      B 
    Hey!     My girlfriend   is an alcoholic 
 
    C#m         A 
But nobody's perfect 
 
E         B     C#m        A            E     B 
    Hey!     My girlfriend   gets all demonic 
 
    C#m          A 
But I think she's worth it, when she 
 
E               B 
Drinks! Drinks! Fights at the bar! 
 
C#m             A 
Drinks! Drinks! Pukes in my car!

Bridge: 
 
 
    C#m            C             
And every night, I end up driving 
 
   B                 A#              A 
So she don't go out, D.U.I.in' again 
 
    G#m                 F#m 
Get locked in the pen.       Again.
