Aaron Watson – Sober Truth (Guitar)

        C
I ain’t had a drink in a month of Sundays

C
Though your leaving left me sideways

F
Been on that back row church pew

F
Singing old gospel songs

C
Preacher’s been preaching ’bout Heaven and Hell

C
Jesus and Jack don’t mix too well

      F
I got right, got saved, I prayed

F
But God knows you’re still gone

     C
Last night, I met this old Vietnam vet

C
He hit me up for a cigarette

        F
Then he bummed a light and he offered me

F
A little swig of his Jim Beam

           C
But I’m as dry as I can be

C
I’m as dry as Throckmorton County

                 F
‘Cause I’ve been buzzing on these

                G
Neon dreams and Marlboro nicotine

               F
But I’m riding high and I’m laying low

                G
And I’m hanging on for my dеar soul

          C                  G/B
All those prayers you prayed paid off

           Am
And I just wantеd you to know

               F
That I saw the light at that revival

              G
I gave up the bottle for the Bible

         Am           G      F
But this heartache is ninety-proof

               C
And that’s the sober truth

                 F
Swear that’s the sober truth

           C
I can’t go back and undrink the rum

C
Your reason for leaving’s whiskey strong

               F
I know it took losing you for me to find

F
The good book on the nightstand

         C
“Amazing Grace,” how sweet the sound

C
I was lost, but now I’m down

             F
Since you’re nowhere to be found

               G
Now that I’m a better man

               F
But I’m riding high and I’m laying low

                G
And I’m hanging on for my dеar soul

          C                  G/B
All those prayers you prayed paid off

           Am
And I just wantеd you to know

               F
That I saw the light at that revival

              G

         Am           G      F
But this heartache is ninety-proof

               Am7         F
And that’s the sober truth

                 C           G/B
Yeah, that’s the sober truth

                Am7
So go fill your cup and raise ’em up

             F
Y’all make a toast and throw ’em back

         C                 G/B       Am7
And everyone drink one for me in memory

       G              F
Of the fool I used to be

                 G
But now he ain’t me

                  F
‘Cause I’m riding high and I’m laying low

                G
And I’m hanging on for my dеar soul

          C                  G/B

But this heartache is ninety-proof

       Am          G          F
‘Cause God knows I still love you

               C
And that’s the sober truth
