Intro:
G D C9
G D C9
She said she was gonna leave, she finally did today
G D C9
I drove up just in time, to watch her drive away
G D C9
And as I read the note she left, it cut me right to the bone
G D C9 D G
Was a story of a woman who needed more than a man who was always gone
G D C9
She said Lord knows I've tried, I've done the best I can
G D C9
But I've learned it's just to hard, loving a music man
G D C9
I pretend I understand, but time keeps passing by
G D C9 D G
And while you're out there chasing your dreams, I'm here living a lie
G D C9
Whiskey on the rocks is what I need
G D C9
Set em' up bartender, gonna drink till I can't see
G D C9
Watch the whiskey in the glass turn to water
C9 D (one strum)
It gets weaker, but I get stronger
G D C9
As I sit here in this bar, where everyone knows my name
G D C9
They all think I hit the big time, I'm headed for fortune and fame
G D C9
But I'm still not on the jukebox, my pictures arent on the wall
G D C9 D G
I know I'm headed somewhere, I just hope it's not for a fall
Chorus
Bridge:
C9 G
Everytime I think Im on my way up, someting knocks me back to the ground
C9 Am walk down C9 D
Then I find the strength to get back up, I can't let this ol' guitar down
Chorus
