Verse 1 

G               Em                    G       Em  
Kinda layin low - a little girl and hands of silk  
                D         G                 D 
A quick game of touch and go and the loss of words  
G                          Em                G     Em  
It’s just the way things go - flowers open, petals wilt  
                 D      G                      D          G         G Em C Cadd9 C D 
Fingers lock and people close and minds wander down down  down  
G                     Em  
Lips pressed together too tight to speak  
C                 Em                 G            D  
A little taste to top the night then drift off to sleep  
                Em    Em7   C   Cmaj9      D                        G         G Em C Cadd9 C D x2 
And my girlwhiskey                         She goes down smooth and sweet  


Verse 2 

G               Em                 G          Em 
It’s hard to know what’s exception, what’s the rule  
                    D       G                                  D 
And when the honest blade is cruel - or when it’s kisses that carve the soul  
G                  Em                    G       Em 
Sitting in the park - children play and children fall  
                       D        G                    D               G         G Em C Cadd9 C D 
And children tear their friends apart - rebuilt to run again again  again  
G                       Em 
Mamas teach your babies - your babies teach the rest  
C                   Em                         G                  D 
There’s some things those that know the least, well they know the best  
              Em    Em7   C   Cmaj9   D                   G         G Em C Cadd9 C D x2 
And my girlwhiskey -                  can you teach me to forget?  


Verse 3 

G             Em                  G       Em 
Now all alone - a little bourbon wet and warm  
                D       G                        D 
Off to dig yourself as whole - a little trickle fills right in  
G                       Em                            G        Em 
It’s still good to know - with all the cracks there’s still no leaks  
                         D        G                        D             G         G Em C Cadd9 C D 
And with the lights down soft and low - no need to see so far so far so far  
G                              Em 
It’s too soon to write her but too late to call  
C                 Em                   G            D 
It’s all spent in gettin there - then free for the fall  
            Em    Em7   C   Cmaj9    D                      G     G Em C Cadd9 C D x2  
And my girlwhiskey -                 don’t need the girl at all
