[A]Me and Jesse's cousin
[A]Went to the Chevron after work
[A]To grab a couple sixers [D]and some beefy jerk.
[A]The man behind the counter
[A]Said he'd like to see ID
[A]I handed him one of a guy who [D]sorta looked like me
[Bm]He frowned and asked me what was my a[E]ddress,
[Bm]I knew the street but I couldn't quite get th[E]e rest
[A]I said I'd lost my real ID
[A]And that we would pay him double
[A]We swore that we weren't cops and[D] that he wouldn't get in trouble
[A]He smiled and said, "I'm sorry,
[A]But it's already 12:04
[A]And the state says it's too late to [D]sell alcohol any more."
[Bm]Sadly we went to put back the [E]beer,
[Bm]But then a bottle caught my eye, and [E]I got an idea:
What about [A]mouthwash?
What about [Fm]huffing paint?
You don't [G]need ID to buy it,
And you [D]can't arrive too late.
What about m[A]outhwash?
What about [Fm]smelling glue?
If they say[G] you can't buy liquor,
Then some c[D]ough syrup should do.
[Bm]Before we count this night up as a [E]loss,
What about [A]mouthwash?
For the next verse you can play:
E|--------------------|
B|-----------------2--|
G|-----------------2--| On the 4th and 8th time
D|-----------------2--| play a D instead of an A
A|-----------------0--|
E|----0--2--5--2------|
[A]
Sittin' in the truck in the parking lot
Underneath the moon and all them stars
We don't need their liquor stores and we don't need their bars
Drinking Listerine and tonic
And Jesse's cousin sipped a Scope and Coke
Robitussin Red Bull, now that sht ain't no joke
[Bm]But something changed within me at that [E]store,
[Bm]Beer and spirits just don't cut it any[E] more
[A]The whispers that I hear
[A]And the looks that I keep gettin'
[A]When I toast with a Dimetapp daiquir[D]i at a fancy wedding
[A]And last night a cop pulled me over
[A]Goin' down 95 South
[A]And he saw the Sherwin-Williams [D]all over my nose and mouth
He [A]just looked straight at me
With [A]pity in his eyes
Like he'd [A]just seen the depths of sadness a [D]man can have inside
And the le[A]ngths to which he'll go
To numb it [A]down for another day
He l[A]ooked as if he'd cry but then he just[D] walked away.
[Bm]I watched as he drove off down the Inte[E]rstate
[Bm]And then I thought to myself, "that's a[E]nother reason this stuff's great!"
What about [A]mouthwash?
What about [Fm]sniffing glue?
When the p[G]olice pull you over,
They ai[D]n't sure what to do
What about [A]mouthwash?
Or even hand [Fm]sanitizer?
When they c[G]heck your glove compartment,
They wo[D]n't be none the wiser.
[Bm]Before we count this night up as a [E]loss,
Say, what about [A]mouthwash?
What about [A]mouthwash?
