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

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

             E                                                      Ab
room still. 'cause you were the one I felt that I was lucky just to have you by

my side. Now it's ten years gone and I'm sittin' all alone with this bottle for 

           E
a place to hide.

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

B            A
by 8:15 I'll have had a couple in me

    A                       E
and forgotten you were even mine


by 9:43 I'll be regretting my decisions

    C#m
and cursing this city of sin

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

A                   E
and thinking of you again

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

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

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

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

                         A                         E
broken fool. A tarnished drunkard with a tarnished name.
