Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Hi, My name is Cate ([group] Hi Cate), and I used to be his wife
Been seven weeks ago today since we shared a life
I tried everything not to think of him and  I almost made it through
But completin’ this 12 step program is somethin' I just can't do

I was cleanin' out the attic and I found a box that was full of memories
And I wish now that I'd left that box next to the christmas tree

No matter how hard I try
No matter what I do
I keep fallin' off that wagon, and cryin' over you

[Chorus]
I lost my thirty-day chip for you again tonight
I hung on to it as long as I could but your memory won the fight
Just when I was doin fine and thought everything would be alright
You crossed my mind and I just lost my thirty-day chip tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I saw a memory of you and me on facebook just today
From years ago when we went on vacation that year in Marina Del Ray
I put down my phone and thought for a time about why I can't move on
And then I turned on the radio to see what was on and it started to play our song

[Chorus]
I lost my thirty-day chip for you again tonight
I hung on to it as long as I could but your memory won the fight
Just when I was doin fine and I thought everything would be alright
You crossed my mind and I just lost my thirty-day chip tonight

Yea You crossed my mind and I just lost my thirty-day chip tonight

🎶 "Chips" is about a recently divorced woman who is trying a 12 step program to get over her ex husband.  She just lost her 30 day chip tonight.
