Verse 1
I was [F]sittin' in a chair at the H&R Block.
Some [F7]bean countin' pencil pusher [Bb]runnin' up the clock.
Said, "[C]I've tallied up your numbers for the [C7]end of the year,
And son, [F]you've spent a small fortune on [G#]liquor and beer."
I said it's ;
Chorus 1
[Bb]Cheaper than a shrink.
[F]You don't have to think.
[Bb]You just [C] pour and drink.
[F]It's sixteen-fifty for a [Bb]bottle of Jack,
No [F]pouring out your heart to some high-dollar quack.
Just a flip of the wrist and you're gettin' it done.
And gettin' just as messed up and havin' a [F7]lot more fun.
And [Bb]it's cheaper than a shrink.
[F] You don't have to think.
[G#]You just [C]pour and drink.
Aw, [F]it's cheaper than a shrink.

Verse 2
[F]Now me and her had this little problem between us.
Tryin' to bridge the gap between [Bb]Mars and Venus.
She said, "[C]Honey, I think we need to see a marital counselor."
I said, "[F]All we need to do is slam a case of twelve-[G#]ouncers."
'Cause it's ;
Chorus 2
[Bb]Cheaper than a shrink.
[F]You don't have to think.
You just [C]pour and drink.
About [F]eighteen bucks 'll get you [Bb]four six-[F]packs.
No pouring out your heart to some high dollar [Bb]quack.
Just a [G#]flip of the wrist and you're [F]gettin' it [Bb]done.
And gettin' [F]just as messed up and havin' a [F7]lot more fun.
And it's [Bb]cheaper than a shrink.
[F]You don't have to think.
You just [C]pour and drink.
Yeah, it's [F]cheaper than a shrink.[C#]
Verse 3
If liquor prices [Bb]soared as high as gaso[C#]line,
[F]I'd a quit drinkin' back when I was ninete[G#]en.
It's the [Bb]oldest most proven form of therapy.
[Bb7]The best thing about it far as [C7]I can see is that it's ;
Chorus 3
[Bb]Cheaper than a shrink.
[F]You don't have to think.
[G#]You just [C]pour and drink.
And it's [F]cheaper than a shrink.
[G#]Aw, you just [C]pour and drink.
And it's a [F]whole lot cheaper
Than some big town, clock hound, drag you down shrink.[C][F]
