  • Artist:

    Brad Paisley

Intro: Bm   G

           D             G                             Bm
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
    A         D        G                                 A
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
   Bm                          A  D
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
      Bm                       A   D
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
        A
Until tonight...


Chorus 1:
            D                      G          A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
    Bm                     A   G
And finally drank away her memory
D                                   A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
         Bm                        A        G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
     D                                    A
They found him with his face down in the pillow
       Bm                           A     G
With a note that said I'll love her til I die
     D                             A
And when we buried him beneath the willow
    G                          Bm
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm                                       G
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la
Bm                                       G
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la


           D          G                               Bm
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
    A         D         G                                 A
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
   Bm                       A  D
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
        Bm                       A  D
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
          A
Until the night...


Chorus 2:
             D                      G          A
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
    Bm                     A   G
And finally drank away his memory
D                                   A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
         Bm                         A        G
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
    D                                     A
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Bm                       A        G
Clinging to his picture for dear life
    D                               A
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
      G                          Bm
While angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm                                       G   Bm  G
La la la la la la la,  La la la la la la la
(repeat to fade)
