Intro - D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 
 
 
(verse 1) 
    D5   
I'm down and out on the border, 
          A5 
She's in love up in Dallas, 
 D5                            G5 
She say's it's over I'm still thinkin' about us, 
    D5                                          A5 
Well I'm on the run with a heartache hot on my heels, 
   D5                             A5 
So I'm stirring up feelings like booze in a blender, 
     D5                    G5 
And pouring my heart out to love her tender, 
     D5                       A5                    D5 -  A5 
Well out on the border while she holds another tonight, 
 
(chorus) 
                 D5                     A5  
And I'm pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions, 
  D5                    G5  
Drowning my sorrow by cryin an ocean, 
  D5                                   A5 - G5 - A5 
Should I stoop to beg or just let her go, 
         D5                      A5           
I'm in a sea of confusion and I can't swim , 
     D5                          G5 
One minute I'm fumin then I'm crying again, 
         D5                     A5                 D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 
Pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions tonight, 
 
(verse 2) 
   D5                A5  
A shaker of salt, a quarter of lime 
         D5                    G5  
Turning three finger shooters a one at a time 
  D5                                       A5  
Chased by a memory tonight that I can't escape 
            D5                 A5  
I'm down to my last buck and my last swallow 
     D5                         G5  
And just my luck Hey there's a worm in my bottle 
         D5                A5                      D5  - A5 
But it's my last shot so here's to love on the rocks, 
 
(chorus) 
                 D5                     A5  
And I'm pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions, 
  D5                    G5  
Drowning my sorrow by cryin' an ocean, 
   D5                                  A5 - G5 - A5 
Should I stoop to beg or just let her go, 
         D5                      A5           
I'm in a sea of confusion and I can't swim , 
     D5                          G5 
One minute I'm fumin' then I'm crying again, 
         D5                     A5              D5 
Pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions tonight, 
    G5             D5  
And I'm pouring straight tequila, 
      A5                D5 - A5 - D5 - A5 
over mixed emotions tonight,
