Intro: Dm G F - F/E - F/D - C
Verse 1:
G
I didn't come in here to dance,
C
And I don't plan to have a good time,
G
So honey just top off this glass,
Am
And take this pocket full of dimes,
F G
And go wake up that old Juke Box,
Am - Am7/G - Dm
Then just leave me alone,
F
I've got a past to put behind,
G
So keep one thing in mind,
F - F/E - F/D - C
When you're pickin' out them songs
Chorus:
F
Play me something I can drink to,
C
Something I can sit and think to,
Dm
A song bout nothing left to lose,
F
From someone who's been in my shoes,
G
And play it loud enough to drown out all the hell I'm goin' through,
F
Make it something I can cry to,
Am - Am7/G - Dm
A tune her memory can die to,
F
I've got a table in the dark,
G
A bottle and a broken heart,
F - F/E - F/D - C
Play me something I can drink to
Verse 2:
G
I've got everything I need,
C
To get me where I'm goin,
G
And when I get there I'll be free,
Am
If only for tonight,
F G
As long as that steel guitar is playin,
Am - Am7/G - Dm
She'll be goin', goin', gone,
F
Well I've got a ghost to kill,
G
And I know this whiskey will,
F - F/E - F/D - C
With some help from Hank and Jones
(Chorus)
Outro:
F
I've got nowhere else to go,
C
So keep 'em comin' sad and slow,
F
Play me something I can drink to
