Capo 2nd Fret
D D/F# G
D D/F# G
I just cracked the top on some Jim Beam I just bought.
D A D
Took a big ol' swig an' I just set her down.
D/F# G
It's a foolish thing to think, that you could kill the hurt with drink,
D A D D/C#
But it's the only thing that I can think of now.
Bm A G
Got her down to the top of the st icker:
Em7 A
I wish this stuff would kick in a little quicker.
D D/F#
I can still see us on that tiltawhirl, spinnin'.
G A
Cotton candy in the wind she had mustard on her chin,
D D/F#
From that corn-dog that slipped right off of the stick,
G A
And that top of the Ferriss wheel kiss.
Em7 D/F# G
I ain't forgot a bout that yet,
Em7 A D
But I still have some whiskey left.
D D/F# G
Sure thought I'd be able, once I reached the middle of the label,
D A D
That some of those memories would somehow wash a way.
D/F# G
Now I'm pushin' toward the bottom, and thoughts of her, yeah, I still got 'em.
D A D
Those shots, I've shot 'em, but they ain't killed yester day.
Bm A G
Just a little below the st icker:
Em7 A
Yeah, I must've got a bad batch of liquor.
D D/F#
I can still see her standin' there on that sidewalk,
G A
Yellin' out for the taxi that would take her away,
D D/F#
From the arms of the one that still loves her
G A
With all of his heart.
Em7 D/F# G
I ain't forgot a bout that yet,
Em7 A D
But I still have some whiskey left.
D D/F# G
I just tipped it up an' took the last sip from the cup:
D A D
Threw that bottle on the ground an'started to cry.
D/F# G
I know that I've had plenty an' now there just ain't any,
D A
An' I'm just as empty as that bottle inside.
