Intro: G5  C5  C5  G5  A5 G5 (walkup)

C5                            G5                     
I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that old bar stool 
A5              D5            G5     G5 G5   
Drownin' you in every drop I drink 
C5                             G5       
Telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself 
            A5                          D5  D5 D5 
Cause you're not around to hear what I think. 


         C5                              G5  
Trying to teach my heart to hate you but it aint working right 
         G5              A5        A5      G5   G5 G5  G5 G5   
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight 
         C5                            G5          
Lord it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling inside 
             A5            D5            G5       G5 G5          
Cause these tears I've been cryin' have left me bone dry 
  C5                    G5          E5  A5 
I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy 
         G5              A5        A5      G5  G5 G5           
But the truth is I'm only drinkin me lonely tonight  
C5  G5  A5 G5 (walkup)

  C5                                   G5  
You said I'd have to choose between your love and this old bar room 
A5                D5                 G5   G5 G5   
I just laughed but I guess you knew best 
    C5                                 G5              
Who cares who's right or wrong tonight my better half is gone 
           A5                                 D5  D5 D5 
And this whiskey's layin' claim to all that's left 


             C5                G5 
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright 
         G5                A5        A5      G5  G5 G5 G5 G5   
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight 

REPEAT Chorus 


C5  G5 

             C5                G5 
So I'll just order up another and pretend I'm alright 
         G5                A5       (no chord)   C5  G5  C5  G5  
When the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely tonight
