[Intro]
C C
C F#dim
One of these days, I'm gonna wake up,
F G
with somethin' to lose and I'll get over you
C F#dim
I'll walk outside, I'll look at the sky
F C
For the first time through clear, blue eyes
F F#dim
My head won't hurt, my heart won't ache
G Em Ebm
I'll for- give myself for my mistakes
Dm G
And I'll be good as new, if I can just get through
C
my whiskey years
C F#dim
One of these nights, when I'm feeling brave
F C
You'll come back around and I'm gonna put you down
C F#dim
I might start to shake, but I'll find the strength
F C
To stand up straight and I'll walk away
F F#dim
And I won't look back, you won't see
C Dm Em Ebm
If I fall apart when you follow me
Dm G
I'll be good as new if I can just get through
C
my whiskey years
F F#dim
My whiskey years my wilder days
Em Ebm A
The crazy times when I was stoned out of my mind
F F#dim C Bm Am
When I could sit and sip away all the hurt and pain
Dm G
Whom am I trying to fool? I'm still goin' through
C
my whiskey years
F#dim F C C F#dim F G
F F#dim
My whiskey years, my wilder days
Em Ebm A
The crazy times when I was stoned out of my mind
F F#dim C Bm Am
When I could sit and sip away all the hurt and pain
Dm G
Whom am I trying to fool? I'm still goin' through
