Alan Jackson w/ George Strait
Designated Drinker

Intro (G, Am, C, D, G)

verse 1: (Jackson)

G
Here's my keys
              Am
I want you to take them
                  C
I think I'm gonna need you
            D
To get back home
              G
Hold on to my hat
              Am
I don't wanna lose it
           C
I couldn't stand
                         D
For something else to be gone

Pre-chorus:

C run down Am                          D
I'm sure you know the reason I'm here cryin'
C run down Am             D
I think you'll understand why...

Chorus:
G
Tonight
                    Am
I'm the designated drinker
       C
I just lost
                               D
The one that wrapped round her finger
           G
I need to get
                 Am
To where I can't think of her
   C       D
So tonight
                   C    G
I'm the designated drinker

Verse 2: (Strait)
I came here
To get you to help me
I need a friend
To see me through

I hated to call
I knew you wouldn't mind at all
I know you know
I'd do the same for you

Pre-chorus
I'm not the kind that likes to drown my sorrows
I may hate myself tomorrow

Chorus (both)
But tonight
I'm the designated drinker
I just lost
The one that wrapped round her finger
I need to get
To where I can't think of her
So tonight I'm the designated drinker

Final Chorus
We need to get
To where we can't think of her
So tonight
We're the designated drinkers
Oh tonight
we're the designated drinkers
