Hello my name is Ishmael, 
forget the one about the whale
i'll tell you of a broken hearted sailor
Maggie took my loyalty 
I treated her like royalty 
What starts out with such promise ends in failure

     Main Riff
Hello my name is Ishmael 
forget the one about the whale 
I'll tell you of a broken hearted sailor 
Maggie took my loyalty 
I treated her like royalty 
What starts out with such promise ends in failure 

     Verse/Chorus
Oh my love I can't stand to be alone 
I been drinkin too much I better go home 
And I think here I'm better off alone 
but I been thinkin too much I better go home 

     Verse/Chorus
All hail the queen of cruelty 
She has duly been annointed 
These final words her majesty had to say 
He who expects nothing never will be disappointed 
Nothings what she left me so i guess im ok 

     Verse/Chorus
oh my love i can't stand to be alone 
I been drinkin too much i better go home 
And i think here we all stand alone 
but i been thinkin too much I better go home 

     Bridge
Lie lie lie lie lie
Lie lie lie lie lie

     Verse/Chorus 
A promise made to a tab unpaid 
is home my way to a bed unmade 
A fool to think that i could ever change her 
a king upon my bar stool throne 
a vow to never drink alone 
I only drink with friends or total strangers 

     Second Bridge
We're all broken hearted here 
We're all broken hearted here 
We're all broken hearted here 
We're all broken 

     Verse/Chorus
Oh my love i can't stand to be alone 
and i been drinkin too much i better go home 
and i think here we all stand alone 
but i been thinkin too much i better go home 
i better go home 
i better go home 
i better go home 
i better go home 
i better go home

End on an "A" chord
