     G                     Em
I messed up, yeah, I broke her heart,

        C                     D
Tore it all down, ripped it apart.

        G                     Em
Said things I shouldn’t have said,

        C                     D
Now I’m alone in this damn bed,

         G                     Em
Wishing you was here by my side,

        C                           D
But instead this bottle comforts all my lies,

          G                     Em
Because the only truth that I’m trying to hide,

        C                         D
Is that this bottle is the only thing I’m holding tight,

        Em
Because tonight…

        C
Yeah tonight…

        G
There’s whiskey…

        D
on your goodbye
--- [Verse 1]
        G                               Em
And if only you was here to see me now,

        C                                 D
Just to see how I treat myself when you’re not around,

        G                         Em
With an ashtray full and the TV’s loud,

        C                               D
Tryin’ to drown out the thought of you walkin’ out.

        G                           Em
Your lipstick stain’s still on that glass,

        C                               D
I keep starin’ at it hopin’ time rolls back.
G Em But the clock keeps tickin’ and the whiskey pours,
        C                               D
And I’m cussin’ myself for slammin’ them doors.

        G                           Em
Every picture on the wall feels like a fight,

        C                               D
Every shadow in this house keeps me up at night.

        G                               Em
I’d give anything just to hear your truck pull in…

        C                               D
But all I hear’s the echo of the mess I’m in…

        Em
And all it ever says…
--- [Chorus]
     G                     Em
I messed up, yeah, I broke her heart,

        C                     D
Tore it all down, ripped it apart.

        G                     Em
Said things I shouldn’t have said,

        C                     D
Now I’m alone in this damn bed,

         G                     Em
Wishing you was here by my side,

        C                           D
But instead this bottle comforts all my lies,

          G                     Em
Because the only truth that I’m trying to hide,

        C                         D
Is that this bottle is the only thing I’m holding tight,

        Em
Because tonight…

        C
Yeah tonight…

        G
There’s whiskey…

        D
on your goodbye
--- [Verse 2]
        G                               Em
Neighbors hear me fightin’ with my own pride,

        C                               D
Talkin’ to the shadows where you used to lie.

        G                               Em
This bed’s too big, these sheets too cold,

        C                               D
And the truth cuts deeper than the lies I told.

        G                               Em
I swore I was tough, but I’m weak as hell,

        C                               D
Drownin’ in a bottle and a cheap motel.

        G                               Em
I’d trade every shot for one more night,

        C                               D
But the devil in me won’t let it right.

        G                               Em
Now the jukebox plays our song on repeat…

        C                               D
And I’m prayin’ to God in hope that you’d believe…

        Em
Every word when I say…
--- [Chorus]
     G                     Em
I messed up, yeah, I broke her heart,

        C                     D
Tore it all down, ripped it apart.

        G                     Em
Said things I shouldn’t have said,

        C                     D
Now I’m alone in this damn bed,

         G                     Em
Wishing you was here by my side,

        C                           D
But instead this bottle comforts all my lies,

          G                     Em
