Verse 1:
C#5
After one or two I
get used to the room
We go slow when we
first make our moves
F#5
By five or six bring
you out to the car
Number nine with
my head on the bar
F5 F#5 Bb5 Ab5
And it's sad, but true
F5 F#5 Bb5 Ab5
Out of cash and I---O.U's
Verse 2:
C#5
I got desperate desires
and unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of
gin and malicious intent
F#5
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
My sober straight face
gets you out of
your clothes
And they're
F5 F#5 Bb5 Ab5
scared that we know
F5 F#5
All the crimes
Bb5
they'll commit
Ab5
Who they'll kiss
before they get home
Chorus 1:
C#5 Bb5 Ab5 C#5 Bb5
I will lie awake
Ab5 F5 F#5
Lie for fun and fake
Ab5
the way I hold you
F5 F#5
Let you fall for
Ab(hold)
every empty word I say
Verse 3:
C#5
Barely conscious in the
door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep
while your mouth
makes your demands
F#5
You laugh at every word
trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for
what I'm gonna do
F5 F#5 Bb5 Ab5
And your hair smells of smoke
F5 F#5 Bb5
Who will cast the first stone?
Ab5
You can sin or spend
the night all alone
Verse 4:
C#5
Brass buttons on your
coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart
that they cut out of stone
F#5
You're using all your looks
that you've thrown
from the start
If you let me have my way
I swear I'll tear you apart
F5 F#5 Bb5 Ab5
Cause it's all you can be
F5 F#5 Bb5
You're a drunk and you're scared
Ab5
It's ladies night all
the girls drink for free
(Repeat Chorus 1)
