E5

E5                                                  A5                       E5
I've heard it said it takes twice the length of an affair for the heart to heal

                                                        B5
And if that's the case then I guess in 20 years I'll be sitting in this bar 

             E5                                                      Ab5
room still. 'cause you were the one I felt that I was lucky just to have you by
 
             F#5                                                     A5
my side. Now it's ten years gone and I'm sittin' all alone with this bottle for 

           E5
a place to hide.


(chorus)

B5                A5
bar time is 6:30 and you're still on my mind

B5            A5
by 8:15 I'll have had a couple in me

    A5                       E5
and forgotten you were even mine


by 9:43 I'll be regretting my decisions

    C#5
and cursing this city of sin

B5
by 10:15 I'll be stinkin' of whiskey

A5                   E5
and thinking of you again

E5                                                       A5
Now I've heard it said by many of my friends you were a girl I should leave 

E5
alone. They said "all you're gonna get is a pocket full of regrets and a

B5                          E5
broken down rotary phone." Now all I've got are those and 15 "I told you 

           Ab5                          F#5
so's" so I guess I'm the one to blame. Sitting on a stool feeling like a 

                         A5                         E5
broken fool. A tarnished drunkard with a tarnished name.
