 Intro: G            Am              C              D                G
 
                    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' to loose it
 
                 C                                          D
 
 I couldn't stand for somethin' else to be gone
 
 Am                                    D               Am
 
 I'm sure you know the reason I'm here crying
 
                                     D
 
 I think you'll understand why
 
 
 
 Chorus:
 
  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
 
 
 
 Guitar solo:      G          Am       C            D            G
 
 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                           Am
 
 I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrow
 
                               D
 
  I may hate myself tomorrow
 
 
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
                      G                           Am
 
 We need to get to where we cant think of her
 
       C        D                           C     G
 
 So tonight we're the designated drinkers
 
       C        D                           C    G
 
 Oh tonight we're the designated drinkers
