E
The bars are all closed
A E
It’s four in the morning
E
Must have shut ’em all down
E B
By the shape that I’m in
E
I lay my head on the wheel
A E
And the horn begins honking
E
The whole neighborhood knows
B E
That I’m home drunk again
A E
And if drinking don’t kill me
B
Her memory will
B A B
I can’t hold out much longer
E
The way that I feel
A E
With the blood from my body
A
I could start my own still
A E
But if drinking don’t kill me
B E
Her memory will
These will old bones they move slow
But so sure of their footsteps
As I trip on the floor and lightly touch down
Lord it’s been ten bottles since I tried to forget her
But the memory still lingers lying here on the ground
Chorus
