Verse1:  
      C             G              F  
 This bar has been my home away from her  
 C          G             C   G  
 Used to be, she was missing me  
 C                G      F  
 Now she's moving in with her best friend  
            C           G                 C   G  
 And I'm the only one who wants what used to be  
 C                G            F  
 I'm here because today I lost it all  
 C               G               C   G  
 I didn't want to drink at home alone  
 C             G    F                         C  
 I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling  
      G         C   G  
Like a row of dominoes  
  
Chorus1:  
              C              G  
 I thought the man behind the bar  
     F            G  
 Had heard it all before  
 C                Am              G  
 My story must have caught him by surprise  
              Am          G  
 Cause when he handed me my double  
          F               C  
 There were tears in his eyes  
     F                   C  
 You know you're in trouble  
         G              C G F  
 When the bartender cries  
  
Verse2:  
           C                       G            F  
 He said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"  
     C           G                C    G   
 I said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try  
          C                G F  
 So if she ever calls for me  
            F               C  
 Oh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here"  
    G           C   G  
 And it won't be a lie  
  
Chorus2:  
              C             G  
 I asked the man behind the bar  
          F              G  
 What he'd been crying for  
           C                   Am             G  
 He said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine  
       Am                      G   
 Now I've stopped drinking doubles  
      F                   C  
 But I pour them all of the time  
         F               C  
 Son, you know you're in trouble  
        G              C  
 When the bartender cries"  
  
Bridge:  
 F               G              C           Am    F  
 As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew  
            F          G        (pause)  
 Every single word he said was true  
  
Chorus3:  
 (no chord)        C             G  
 Well, I told the man behind the bar  
          F               G     C   
 I thought I'd seen it all before  
               Am            G  
 Till I saw the sadness in his eyes  
            Am              G  
 That's when I put down my double  
     F              C  
 And said my last goodbyes  
               F              C  
 'Cause you know you're in trouble  
          G             Am  
 When the bartender cries  
       F                   C  G  
 Oh, you know you're in trouble  
                       C G F       C  
 When the bartender cries
