Verse1:  
      C5             G5              F5  
 This bar has been my home away from her  
 C5          G5             C5   G5  
 Used to be, she was missing me  
 C5                G5      F5  
 Now she's moving in with her best friend  
            C5           G5                 C5   G5  
 And I'm the only one who wants what used to be  
 C5                G5            F5  
 I'm here because today I lost it all  
 C5               G5               C5   G5  
 I didn't want to drink at home alone  
 C5             G5    F5                         C5  
 I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling  
      G5         C5   G5  
Like a row of dominoes  
  
Chorus1:  
              C5              G5  
 I thought the man behind the bar  
     F5            G5  
 Had heard it all before  
 C5                A5              G5  
 My story must have caught him by surprise  
              A5          G5  
 Cause when he handed me my double  
          F5               C5  
 There were tears in his eyes  
     F5                   C5  
 You know you're in trouble  
         G5              C5 G5 F5  
 When the bartender cries  
  
Verse2:  
           C5                       G5            F5  
 He said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"  
     C5           G5                C5    G5   
 I said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try  
          C5                G5 F5  
 So if she ever calls for me  
            F5               C5  
 Oh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here"  
    G5           C5   G5  
 And it won't be a lie  
  
Chorus2:  
              C5             G5  
 I asked the man behind the bar  
          F5              G5  
 What he'd been crying for  
           C5                   A5             G5  
 He said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine  
       A5                      G5   
 Now I've stopped drinking doubles  
      F5                   C5  
 But I pour them all of the time  
         F5               C5  
 Son, you know you're in trouble  
        G5              C5  
 When the bartender cries"  
  
Bridge:  
 F5               G5              C5           A5    F5  
 As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew  
            F5          G5        (pause)  
 Every single word he said was true  
  
Chorus3:  
 (no chord)        C5             G5  
 Well, I told the man behind the bar  
          F5               G5     C5   
 I thought I'd seen it all before  
               A5            G5  
 Till I saw the sadness in his eyes  
            A5              G5  
 That's when I put down my double  
     F5              C5  
 And said my last goodbyes  
               F5              C5  
 'Cause you know you're in trouble  
          G5             A5  
 When the bartender cries  
       F5                   C5  G5  
 Oh, you know you're in trouble  
                       C5 G5 F5       C5  
 When the bartender cries
