AA7 Drinking whiskey reminds me of you DD7 You’re the first in ages to have gotten through AA7 I know you mean well, yes I know that you do EE7A But sooner or later you’re going to break me in two A Were my pupils dilated? A7 Could you tell that I liked you? DD7 We were so unlikely AA7 You flirt with an ex, put me to the test though EE7A And still I want to tell you that I love you the best AA7 We turned the radiators on and there was no way back D Did you know D7 You had The Plough star trail on your back? AA7 Your voice is quiet but I need it loud E In the night you went up E7A And in the morning you went down AA7 And it’s like you to forbid me to say goodnight D I had your brown eyes and limbs D7 On me through the night AA7 These words are weak and to your dislike EE7A But you’ll never believe them so I guess it’s alright
DA Do you like the view I show you? DA Oh I say look at the light DA Do you still miss the way that I hold you? E In other towns and cities A Who’s holding you tonight?
AA7 The dresses came out of the bag then the tears came DD7 And drinking has never been the same again AA7 I shared your trouble, I shared your weight EE7A I lost it with you today AA7 And we don’t share a birthday we do share a sign DD7 And we shared something or was it in my mind AA7 There was talk of love and how I need it back EE7A I’d be better for you than that last love of mine
DA Do you like the view I show you? DA I say look at the light DA Do you still miss the way that I hold you? E Oh, in other towns and cities A Who’s holding you tonight? E You’re in another town or city E7A You mean nothing to me tonight.
