[Intro]
F C F C F G C C
C
That isolating fan is moving left to right
F C
Like it's mocking me for coming here again last night
I slide from under your arm, you're still out stone cold
F C
As I fumble through the twisted sheets looking for my clothes
G F
I step over that spot on your hardwood floor
G F G
The one that always squeaks when I'm sneaking out your door
[Chorus]
F C F C
Some use water, others use beer
F C G
Some don't need anything but I end up here
F C F Am G
Searching for comfort for this burnout can't soothe
F G C F C
Chasing my whiskey with you
C
I call up my sister and tell her, don't say a word
F C
You know where I am, I'll wait here by the curb
Just like an addiction, well, I tried to give you up
F C
But I know all bets are off when I've had too much
G F
With an empty shot glass on a Budweiser coaster
G F G
Staring at my cell phone as closing time gets closer
[Chorus]
F C F C
Some use water, others use beer
F C G
Some don't need anything but I end up here
F C F Am G
Searching for comfort for this burnout can't soothe
F G C
Chasing my whiskey with you
F C
Every time is the last time 'til the next time rolls around
F G
I'll trade lonely for a regret, it's easier to drown
[Chorus]
F C F C
Some use water, others use beer
F C G
Some don't need anything but I end up here
F C F Am G
Searching for comfort for this burnout can't soothe
F G C
Chasing my whiskey with you
F G F C F C F G C
Chasing my whiskey --- with you
