[Verse 1]
C                                               F                    C
Last night I dreamed that I\’d been drinking
C                             F                             C
Same dream I have about twice a week
D                                  G
I had one glass of wine
D                             G
I woke up feeling fine
C                        F             C
That\’s how I knew it was a dream
C                                           F                             C
Last night I dreamed that I\’d been drinking
C                                           F               C
Cold burn of whiskey down my throat
D                                           G
My hand turned into a rattlesnake
D                             G
I laughed myself awake
C               F               C
That\’s how I knew it was a joke

[Chorus 1]
Am               G                             F
It gets easier but it never gets easy
Am
I can say it\’s all worth it
G                             F
But you won\’t believe me
Am
Hold down your liquor
G
Or swallow your pride
Em                             F
You\’d rather keep it inside
Am               G                             F
It gets easier but it never gets easy

[Verse 2]
C               F               C
Last night I did myself a favor
C                                           F               C
I called in sick and went downtown
D                             G
Drove past the local bar
D                                  G
A cop got behind the car
C                    F                             C
I wish he would pull me over now
C                             F               C
Last night I let myself remember
C                                 F               C
Times I forgot a woman\’s name
Dm                             G
I blacked out behind the wheel
Dm                             G
How tight the handcuffs feel
C                             F                             C
My daughter\’s eyes when she\’s ashamed

[Chorus 2]
Am                             G               F
It gets easier, but it never gets easy
Am
I can say it\’s all worth it
G                             F
But you won\’t believe me
Am                                                       G
You can\’t expect her to follow your lead
Em                                           F
She\’s fine with wine and her weed
Am                             G                  F
It gets easier but it never gets easy
F
It never gets easy
Am Em F F
Am Em F G F C
Am Em F F
Am Em F F

[Chorus 3]
C               G               F               Fm
It gets easier but it never gets easy
Am                             G                             F
I can say it\’s all worth it but you won\’t believe me
Am                             G
Hold down your liquor or swallow your pride
Em                                           F
You\’d rather keep it all inside
C                             G               F
It gets easier but it never gets easy
F Am Em F
It never gets easy
F
It never gets easy
Am Em F
