Intro: G / G/Gb / Em / D / C / D / G (2X) 


         G             G/Gb            Em        D 
It's no secret that lately there ain't no escape 
            C            D               G 
And that I've been waking up alone 
      G             G/Gb        Em       D 
Just me and the TV and a sinking feeling 
          C               D        G 
That you ain't ever coming home 
         Em           D          C                   G 
But today, the tears ain't gonna hit the floor 
              G               G/Gb           Em           D 
Cause the boat's in the bay and it's calling my name 
         C              D         G 
So I'm heading on out the door 

              C                           G  
Cause the sun's too bright, the sky's too blue 
  D                                        G 
Beer's too cold to be thinking bout you 
         C                                G 
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away 
C                D      G 
Save it for a rainy day 

Solo: G Em C / D / G  

         G             G/Gb            Em        D 
When I turned the ignition I knew I'd been missing 
      C             D               G 
The feel of the wind on my face 
         G           G/Gb       Em                 D 
I was stuck in a habit of wondering what happened 
       C               D                G 
Two days you're taking all the blame 
         Em        D            C                   G 
Got a drink, or two, It's a fool proof remedy 
        G             G/Gb            Em        D 
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl 
C                  D           G 
Kind of making eyes at me 

              C                           G  
Cause the sun's too bright, the sky's too blue 
D                           G 
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you 
         C                                G 
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away

              C                           G  
Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out 
D                           G 
And they're all too high to be bringing them down 
         C                                G 
If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say 
C                D      G 
I'll save it for a rainy day

There'll be plenty of time for what if's and why's 
            C            D               G 
And how'd I let you get away 
         G             G/Gb            Em        D 
But the lying in bed all stuck in my head 
            C            D               G 
Is just gonna have to wait 

              C                           G  
Cause the sun's too bright, the sky's too blue 
D                           G 
Beer's too cold to be thinking about you

Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away 
C                D      G    Em 
Save it for a rainy day
