Meghan Patrick - The Boy Who Cried Drunk

[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse 1]
G
First time I was so into him, I didn’t care
C
I thought, “hell, I’ve been drunk too, yeah, I’ve been there”
G
When everybody’s on a party high, the bar is set real low
C
He seemed like everybody else, how was I supposed to know?
Am7
That “I’ll have one”
D
Always means one too many

[Chorus]
Em G
Then it’s holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em7 C
Crying in a bathroom stall
G
‘Cause he’s fighting in the parking lot again
Em G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He’ll come over and apologize
G/B Am7
And say it’s only ‘cause he drank too much
C Cm
But you know the truth is that he’s just
G C
The boy who cried drunk

[Verse 2]
G
And for a week, he’ll be the man you want him to be
C
Treat you better than he ever has
C
So you don’t wanna leave
Am
You keep trying to save him
D G D
But that’s why he ain’t changing

[Chorus]
Em G
From holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em7 C
Crying in a bathroom stall
G
‘Cause he’s fighting in the parking lot again
Em G
And I wake up, swollen red eyes
C
He’ll come over and apologize
G/B Am7
And say it’s only ‘cause he drank too much
C Cm
But you know the truth is that he’s just
Em
The boy who cried drunk

[Guitar Solo]
Em G C Em G C

[Bridge]
Am7
He’ll keep crying drunk ‘til
C
You stop giving in to

[Chorus]
Em G
Holes punched in the wall
C
56 missed calls at 4 a.m.
Em C
Crying ‘cause he lost it all
G
And he knows you ain’t coming back again
Em G
And he’ll wake up, swollen red eyes
C
No one left to apologize to
Am7
‘Cause you’ve finally had enough
C Cm
And you know, the truth is that he’s just
G
The boy who cried drunk
