Aaron Watson - Wish I Could Say I'd Been Drinking
G
Well I've done some things
Em
That I can't undo
C
I took your trust
D
And I tore it in two
G Em
No man in his right mind could've said it's over
C D
Still, I told you goodbye completely sober
[CHORUS:]
Em C D
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
Em
And blame the bottle
C D
But I've never been one to booze
Em C D
Lord only knows what I was thinkin'
C
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
D G
But even that's just a fool's excuse
Well, my mom knows
Her baby boy knows better
So it's gonna break her heart
To hear we're not together
She's always said she cares so much for you
So what is she gonna say
About the hell I've put you through
[CHORUS:]
Em C D
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
Em
And blame the bottle
C D
But I've never been one to booze
Em C D
Lord only knows what I was thinkin'
C
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
D G
But even that's just a fool's excuse
[BRIDGE:]
Em G
Even Tennessee whiskey couldn't wash away the pain
C
Watered down with tear drops
D
Over light Kentucky rain
[CHORUS:]
Em C D
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
Em
And blame the bottle
C D
But I've never been one to booze
Em C D
Lord only knows what I was thinkin'
C
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
D G
But even that's just a fool's excuse
[CHORUS:]
Em C D
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
Em
And blame the bottle
C D
But I've never been one to booze
Em C D
Lord only knows what I was thinkin'
C
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin'
D G
But even that's just a fool's excuse
