VERSE 1:

C                                             F
If you’re gonna take that chair and if you’re gonna be sittin’ there
C                                    G
If you’re gonna stay and keep me company
C             F        C         F
I ain’t gonna brook no doubt, we ain’t gonna fool about
          C        F        C       G         C
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me

CHORUS:

F                                   C
Drink it like you mean it, like the serious people do
          G                                  F               C
If you’re down and broken hearted and you’ve got good reason to
F                                C
Drink it like you mean it to the bottom of the glass
       G                                    F          G      C
With resolve and strong intention, drink it right down to the last

C                                         F
We ain’t gonna nurse nor sip, we’re gonna get some past our lips
C                                   G
There ain’t gonna be no trace of irony
C              F         C         F
We ain’t gonna nudge nor wink, nor smirk nor smile nor blink
          C        F        C       G         C
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me

VERSE 2 ON CABIN FEVER: WITHOUT ELECTRICITY:

C                                       F
It ain’t no holiday’s eve, it ain’t the end part of the week
C                                             G
Tonight ain’t nothin’ special as far as I can see
C                 F        C               F
The amateurs have all gone home, it’s just those of us here alone
          C        F        C       G         C
You gotta drink it like you mean it here with me
