INTRO: D5  E5  G5  A5  4x 
 

VERSE I: 
D5      E5              G5      A5 
Momma cried when you left me   
D5           E5             G5     A5 
Know she's always loved you so 
D5             E5   G5                A5 
She said "Hey fool what the hell did you do?" 
             D5              E5               G5        A5 
I said "Now mom I swear to God I just don't know" 
D5             E5            G5     A5 
Picture book sittin on the table 
D5               E5                     G5    A5 
Memories we've stacked up through the years 
      D5                      E5               G5       A5 
But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages 
     G5             D5 
Cuz your the kinda gone 
           E5           A5         D5 
Who ain't never coming back home again 
 
CHORUS I: 
G5                      A5             D5 
And tonight all the dancehalls are empty 
G5         A5            D5 
No young lovers on the floor 
G5       D5               E5 
So I'll sit here with my whiskey 
A5                                    D5    
Drink it till I just can't drink no more 
 
*Repeat 1/2 Intro* 
 
VERSE II: 
    D5         E5                  G5       A5 
And I don't know why you had to leave me 
D5             E5                   G5          A5 
All I really know is that you are gone, long gone 
D5                E5              G5     A5 
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely 
D5                E5             G5    A5 
You're the only life I've ever known 
    D5             E5                G5     A5 
And I guess you heard the highway calling 
D5                            E5          G5             A5 
Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast 
D5         E5                   G5    A5 
I had to fight the urge to follow 
                G5           D5    E5                A5           D5 
I guess some time away from me is all you've ever really needed most 
 
CHORUS II 
       G5                    A5                  D5 
And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty 
G5                        A5           D5 
And I don't think I can take it anymore 
G5       D5              E5 
So I'll sit here with my whiskey 
A5                                    D5 
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

VERSE III: 
D5           E5                  G5        A5 
Late night phone call from the East Coast 
D5               E5 
Said she had enough 
        G5             A5 
She's coming on back home 
D5          E5                 G5        A5 
Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile 
G5                   D5 
If she leaves right now 
E5                   A5              D5 
Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn 
 
CHORUS III: 
      G5                     A5                   D5 
And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty 
G5                  A5          D5 
Tomorrow will be like it was before 
G5       D5         E5 
So I'll put away my whiskey 
A5                             D5 
Guess I just don't need it anymore 
G5        D5          E5 
Yeah I'll put away my whiskey 
G5                    A5        D5 
Guess I just don't need it anymore
