Intro

Bm | Em7 | Asus4 | Asus4
Well if you
[D]live in dusty [Bm]twilight baby[Em7]
that's [Asus4]OK 'Cause there are
[D]women at the [Bm]bar to greet you[Em7]
[Asus4][D2]everyday[A/C#]
And you can
[Bm]take them back to [G]lie with you and
[D]visit Jamie's room, but they can
[Bm]never take the [G]pain away
or [D]brighten all the gloom
And if your
[Bm]hands are cleansed with [G]sorrow
May it [D]help you ease your [Bm]pain
Though the [Em7]windows have a [D/F#]view of [Asus4]city rain
city [Dsus2][Dm]rain[Dsus2]
And if you [D]walk in constant [Bm]sorrow[Em7]
And you cry for [Asus4]me
May it [D]hit the painful [Bm]memories[Em7]
Maybe then [Asus4]you'll [D2]see[A/C#]
That if you [Bm]drown yourself in [G]liquor
Because it [D]keeps you company
Then just [Bm]remember who you're [G]losing
And be [D]proud to set me free
Because it [Bm]don't talk back or [G]disagree
It just [D]makes you see so[Bm] hazily
But in the [Em7]morning light your [D/F#]life is
scattered with the [Asus4]wind
Scattered with the[Dsus2] [Dm]wind[Dsus2]
Well they [D]tell you on the [Bm]telephone[Em7]
to let him go
I said they[D] tell you he's a[Bm] sinking ship
And he's [Em7]trying to pull you [Asus2]down[Dsus4]
[A/C#]Don't you know
That every [Bm]time you call me up[G]
and say you want me [D]back, You know you break my heart
You said you [Bm]want me to come back home and [G]try again
You want me to[D] make a brand new start
But if [Bm]wisdom says to [G]let him go
Then it's [D]hell, because you [Bm]just don't know
Until you've [Em7]tried to love a[D/F#] man who's loving [Asus4]whiskey,
loving [Dsus2][Dm]whiskey[Dsus2]
My baby [Bm]left me for the [G]bottle
And the [D]lure of the nightlife
Good [Bm]times and crazy [G]women
And another [D]glass of Tanqueray
But if [Bm]wisdom says to [G]let him go
Then it's [D]hell, because you [Bm]just don't know
Until you've [Em7]tried to love a[D/F#] man who's loving [Asus4]whiskey,
loving [Dsus2][Dm]whiskey[Dsus2]
