[Intro] 
A      G     D  A 
        Come on       Let's go 
 
 
[Verse 1] 
A 
4:42, Friday afternoon 
A 
I tell you, man, I was about done 
A 
It'd been a hard week, worked off my feet 
      Em 
And I was ready to get back home 
    D 
When my phone started buzzin' 
                A          G    D 
My buddy was wonderin', what I was doin' after work 
       A N.C. 
He said, "Me and the boys are down at the bar" 
                     A 
Well, I guess one drink won't hurt 
 
 
[Chorus] 
         A 
I oughta know better 
A 
One turned into two then four 
G 
Next, we're doin' doubles on a hardwood floor 
D                            A 
Blowing our money, making buddies with the bartender 
G          A 
I oughta know better 
A 
Last call and the sun come out 
G 
Stumblin' all the way back to my house 
D                              A 
Findin' that couch, and passin' out on the leather 
             G N.C. 
Yeah, I oughta know what was gonna happen when you made that call 
N.C. 
'Cause it goes down every time we're together 
         A    G 
I oughta know better 
             D    A G 
Yeah, I oughta know better 
 
 
[Verse 2] 
A 
Me and my girl were three years steady and said 
A 
We're 'bout done with that crowd 
                                   Em 
So, let's just stay home, watch Bridget Jones and cuddle up on the couch 
      D 
Well, I turned down the lights, she poured the wine 
 A         G    D 
And put a glass in my hand 
      A N.C. 
Man, that first sip of red went straight to my head 
               A 
And we started changin' plans 
 
 
[Chorus] 
         A 
I oughta know better 
A 
One turned into two then four 
G 
Next, we're doin' doubles on a hardwood floor 
D                            A

D                              A 
Findin' that couch, and passin' out on the leather 
             G N.C. 
Yeah, I oughta know what was gonna happen when you made that call 
N.C. 
'Cause it goes down every time we're together 
         A

      D               Em
