Whiskey or Water (audio & lyrics)
Monday, 21 December 2009 21:41

Is that the ceiling or the floor?  The window or the door?  "Whiskey or Water" is a country shuffle recorded live with Sal Salvato on guitar, Holly Pintozzi on drums, and Mike Marsden on bass. 

Whiskey or Water

1                                           4
Make it whiskey or water, I don’t care anymore
1
Miss, this ain’t what I ordered
5
Is that the ceiling or the floor
1     
Don’t know which is thicker
4
But I know which is quicker
4              1                  5          1
Make it whiskey or water, I don’t care anymore

1    
Please show me the difference,
4
I can’t find it on my own
1
You can tell me your business
5
I wouldn’t mind it, you know
1   
See, I lost my companion
4
I’m alone and abandoned
4               1
You can show me your business,
5              1
I wouldn’t mind it, you know


1                                          4
Make it whiskey or water, I don’t care anymore
1
Miss, this ain’t what I ordered
5
Is that the ceiling or the floor
1     
Don’t know which is thicker
4
But I know which is quicker
4            1                  5          1
Make it whiskey or water, I don’t care anymore


BRIDGE
4                                 1
At times like these, ain’t but one thing to do
1                                9             5
That's fall to my knees, start crawling for you

1    
But pride gets the best of me,
4
and I forget yet again
1     
That we were always meant to be,
5
once way back when
1
She took the kids and left me the home
4
But I don’t do so well on my own
4                       1
Once, way back when we were
5                      1
always meant to be


1     
Forget your whiskey or water,
4
you can’t have anymore
1
I don’t care what you ordered,
5
choose the window or the door
1                       
You know which is thicker,
4
but can you guess which is quicker
4              1
Forget your whiskey or water,
5                  1
it’s the window or the door

4                 1             4                 1
Whiskey or water, the ceiling or the floor
4                  1                5           1
The window or the door, I don’t care anymore
