Intro G Cadd9 G Cadd9 

verse 1 
   G                      Cadd9 
My life is held together 
                G 
By rusty guitar strings 
        G 
Singin’ songs in neon lights 
         Cadd9 
Different stage every night 
         G       G 
Same old dreams 

verse 2 
         D                    
Lord she put up with so many things 
   Cadd9 
She never should have to 
        G                     D 
i can’t blame her for walking away 
  D                               Cadd9    G 
I gave her all that i had left to give 
                           D    Dsus2 Dsus4  D 
But not enough to make her stay

           G                D 
If i can’t have what i want 
               Cadd9      Cadd9 
Then i’ll have another 
            G                           D 
A glass of whiskey can’t take the place 
                  Cadd9     Cadd9 
Of a friend and a lover 
         G 
But it’s all I know to do 
         G13                      Cadd9 
It’s sit here and drown the truth 
     Cadd9/B        Am 
Lord knows i really love her 
           G                  D 
If I can’t have what I want 
               G 
Then I’ll have another 

verse 3 
             G 
You know the crowd came to hear me play 
        Cadd9                    G 
But i’m five hundred miles away tonight 
         G 
Got that old familiar feeling 
         Cadd9                          G 
When you know someone is leaving, its a fact 
        D                     Cadd9 
I don’t wanna be alone but no matter how i try 
           G               D 
You know i need, to act my age 
  D                                    Cadd9 
I always say i’m gonna give it up this time 
     G                                   D    Dsus2 Dsus4  D 
As a pretty girl brings a shot up to the stage
