C G F C G F
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 3]
(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
