F Fmaj7 Am Am7
Gm7 C
[Verse 1]
F Fmaj7 Am7 Neon burns and the lights get dim Gm7 C Cover band kicks into "Misery and Gin" F Fmaj7 Am7 Don't matter what kind of shape I'm in Gm7 C I'm helpless in a honky tonk
[Verse 2]
F Fmaj7 Am7 Two-steppin' boots on a hardwood floor Gm7 C Good bartender with a heavy-handed pour F Fmaj7 Am7 Here comes another shot of whiskey, oh Lord Gm7 C I'm helpless in a honky tonk
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7 Well the truth is Am7 I'm useless Gm7 C When a hole in the wall gets a hold of me F Fmaj7 Am7 I keep rollin' tab open Gm7 C Always one more song, maybe one more drink F Fmaj7 Night after night Am7 It's a losing fight Gm7 No secret I'm C F Fmaj7 Am7 Gm7 C Helpless in a honky tonk
[Verse 3]
F Fmaj7 Am7 Miss Tennessee's making eyes at me Gm7 C One dance later, she'll be drinking for free F Fmaj7 Am7 Like I needed another damn good reason to be Gm7 C Helpless in a honky tonk
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7 'Cause the truth is Am7 I'm useless Gm7 C When a hole in the wall gets a hold of me F Fmaj7 Am7 I keep rollin' tab open Gm7 C Always one more song, maybe one more drink F Fmaj7 Night after night Am7 It's a losing fight Gm7 No secret I'm C F Helpless in a honky tonk
