D
Memories and drinks don't mix too well.

                                             G
And jukebox records don't play those wedding bells.

C
Starin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,

                                D     D7
All I see is a man who's fading fast.
Verse 2:
D
Tonight I need that woman again.

                                       G
What I'd give for my baby to just walk in.

C
Sit down beside me and say it's alright.

                                       D       D7
Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight.
Chorus
G              G7           C
But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.

             D                  D7           G
Sittin' with all my friends and talkin' to myself.

  C                      C(barre)          B        C
I look like I'm havin' a good time but any fool can tell,

          G                                 D  D7     G     D7
That this Honkytonk Heaven really makes ya' feel like hell.
Verse 3:
D
I light a lonely womans cigarette,

                                            G
We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.

C
Her life story and mine are the same.

                                                D      D7
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
Chorus
