Beer And Bones 
John Michael Montgomery   Life's A Dance

CHORUS:
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones				[G]
Honey since I lost you					[C]
I ain't ate a bite since the night				[G]
That you said, "we're through."				[D]			
I walked to that jukebox to play				[G]
A few sad country songs					[C]
I heard someone say,"Ain't that ol' boy			[G]
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones				[D G]

I got to work this morning early this afternoon		[D G]
Yeah, my boss man nudged me				[D] 
and said "Son, I need to talk to you			[G]
You used to make me money				[C]
But lately I've been taking a loss."				[G]
Then he smelled my breath					[D]
And gave me what was left of the day off			[G]

CHORUS:
I ain't nothing but beer and bones				[G]
Honey since I lost you					[C]
I ain't ate a bite Since the night				[G]
That you said, "we're through."				[D]
I walked to that jukebox to play				[G]
A few sad country songs					[C]
I heard someone say "Ain't that ol' boy			[G]
Ain't nothing but beer and bones"				[D G]

I wish I could go home and rest my weary head		[D G]
But I know I'll just stay here And another beer instead  	[D G]
The little waitress asked me				[C]
Honey could you use some help				[G]
I said, "Thank you this miss, 				[D]
I'll have to get through this By myself"			[G]  

CHORUS
I heard someone say,"Aint that ol' boy"			[G]
I ain't nothing but beer and bones.				[D G]
