Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that's OK, 
                           D                    Bm                    Em Em7/A G/D A/D             
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday. 
                      Bm                        G                        D 
And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie's room, 
                      Bm                  G                  D  
But they can never take the pain away or brighten all the gloom, 
                    Bm                              G                     D   
And if your hands are clenched in sorrow, may it help you ease your pain, 
                    Em                 Em/F#       Em7/A          Dm        D                   
Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain... 
 
 
                    D          Bm        Em    Em7/A 
And if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me, 
            D         Bm          Em   Em7/A G/D A/D             
May it hit the painful memories, maybe then you'll see, 
                    Bm                       G                        D 
That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps you company, 
                 Bm                            G                        D 
Then just remember who you're loosing, and be proud to set me free, 
                                    Bm                            G                        D 
Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just make you see so hazily, 
                  Em                                    Em/F#             Em7/A                               Dm        D                   
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind... 
 
                  D        Bm      Em    Em7/A 
Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go, 
                   D         Bm            Em            Em7/A G/D A/D             
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship, and he's trying to pull you down, Don' t you know. 
                   
 
                   Bm                       G                                                   D 
That every time you call me up and say you want me back you know you break my heart, 
                   Bm                       G                                                   D 
You said you want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start, 
                   Bm                       G                                                   D 
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know, 
                  Em                     Em/F#             Em7/A                   Dm        D                   
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey...

My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife, 
          Bm                       G                    D 
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray,
