As recorded by Merle Haggard & The Strangers (From the 1966 Album SWINGING DOORS AND THE BOTTLE LET ME DOWN) [Intro] A D A E [Chorus]
        A              D
I can't stand me since I lost you

      A                  E
And I can't stand nobody else

        A              D
I can't stand me since you went away

      A
And I got to get away from myself
[Verse 1]
A                                  D
I used to be a high-stepper with a lot on the ball

   A                     E
My friends all called me Ace

          A                         D
It took a woman like you to bring a good man down

             A                      E
And make me ashamed to even show my face
[Chorus]
        A              D
I can't stand me since I lost you

      A                  E
And I can't stand nobody else

        A              D
I can't stand me since you went away

      A
And I got to get away from myself
[Guitar Solo] A D A E A D A E [Verse 2]
           A                         D
Oh, when I look in a glass and see a grown man cry

   A                        E
It makes me want to hang my head

          A                       D
I used to feel real proud just to be alive

    A                         E
But now I think I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
        A              D
I can't stand me since I lost you

      A                  E
And I can't stand nobody else

        A              D
I can't stand me since you went away

      A
And I got to get away from myself
[Guitar Solo] A D A E A D A E [Verse 3]
          A                     D
I'm gonna find me a river about ten mile wide

       A                      E
With a bridge right all away across

          A                 D
I'm gonna drag myself about half way over

    A                       E
And then I'm gonna throw me off
[Chorus]
        A              D
I can't stand me since I lost you

      A                  E
And I can't stand nobody else

        A              D
I can't stand me since you went away

      A
And I got to get away from myself
[Outro]
A
And I got to get away from myself
