      Em                Em 
Got a bottle of whisky in my hand  
          D                      D 
I'm gonna chase that devil for as long as I can  
    C        C       
and I know,        
             D                D                 Em  
that kind of love will make a grown man cry 
           Em                          Em 
Well it's hard on your head when every day is a bet  
       D                            D 
on how long it'll take you just to get out of bed  
    C       C 
and I know,  
             D                D                Em 
that kind of love will make a grown man cry

Oh and I've,

been drowning in love 
       C      C 
Oh and I've,  
                Em         Em 
been drowning in this love

Oh and I'll,  
                 D                                   Em  
be drowning in this love until the day that I die 


"Refren 2" 1:13 
     Em                     Em       
I had to confess that I had stirred up a mess  
            D                 D 
and that at being your girl I hadn't been the best  
    C       C 
and I know,  
             D                D                 Em  
that kind of love will make a grown man cry 
        Em                         Em 
And all because of this you said I pushed to the edge  
           D                     D 
and then I stood right there and ripped your heart from your chest  
    C      C 
and I know,                      
             D                D               Em 
that kind of love will make a grown man cry 

"CHorus" 1:52

been drowning in love 
       C     C 
Oh and I've,  
                 Em         Em 
been drowning in this love 
        C    C 
Oh and I'll,  
                D                                  Em  
be drowning in this love until the day that I die 


"Bridge" 2:21 
Bm         Bm             C         C 
   You had every right to walk away  
                    G       G  G  G 
    without turning around 
Bm          Bm            C        
    And the days go by so slowly  
             C                  G       G   G   G 
    but the years keep sneaking around  
 C?        C?             Em                 Em               D     D D D 
    Every chance I had to say I'm sorry well I just choked it down 
    C?                   C?                Em    
    Never really had the guts to tell you baby,  
      Em             D     D D D 
    I still want you around 

"Chorus "  same as before  

Oh and I've, been drowning in love 
Oh and I've, been drowning in this love 
Oh and I'll, be drowning in this love until the day that I die
