verse 1 

      F 
I was sittin' in a chair at the H&R Block. 
     F7                          Bb 
Some bean countin' pencil pusher runnin' up the clock. 
       C                                    C7 
Said, "I've tallied up your numbers for the end of the year, 
         F                               G# 
And son, you've spent a small fortune on liquor and beer." 

I said it's ; 


Bb    
Cheaper than a shrink. 
F 
You don't have to think. 
Bb       C 
You just   pour and drink. 
F                        Bb 
It's sixteen-fifty for a bottle of Jack, 
   F 
No pouring out your heart to some high-dollar quack. 

Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done. 
                                           F7 
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun. 
    Bb 
And it's cheaper than a shrink. 
F 
  You don't have to think. 
G#       C 
You just pour and drink. 
    F 
Aw, it's cheaper than a shrink.

verse 2 

F                                       
Now me and her had this little problem between us. 
                                 Bb 
Tryin' to bridge the gap between Mars and Venus. 
           C 
She said, "Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor." 
         F                                          G# 
I said, "All we need to do is slam a case of twelve-ouncers." 
        
'Cause it's ; 


Bb 
Cheaper than a shrink. 
F                        
You don't have to think. 
         C 
You just pour and drink. 
      F                          Bb       F 
About eighteen bucks 'll get you four six-packs. 
                                              Bb 
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar quack. 
       G#                           F          Bb 
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done. 
            F                              F7 
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a lot more fun. 
         Bb 
And it's cheaper than a shrink. 
F 
You don't have to think. 
         C 
You just pour and drink. 
           F                      C#  
Yeah, it's cheaper than a shrink. 


verse 3 

                 Bb                    C# 
If liquor prices soared as high as gasoline, 
F                                         G# 
I'd a quit drinkin' back when I was nineteen. 
         Bb 
It's the oldest most proven form of therapy. 
Bb7                            C7 
The best thing about it far as I can see is that it's ; 


Bb 
Cheaper than a shrink. 
F 
You don't have to think. 
G#       C 
You just pour and drink. 
         F 
And it's cheaper than a shrink. 
G#           C 
Aw, you just pour and drink. 
           F 
And it's a whole lot cheaper                                           
                                                      C F  
Than some big town, clock hound, drag you down shrink.
