INTRO: G
             D           Em         D 
He sits all alone in his easy chair 

        G           D          G    D 
Staring back on his lost yesterdays 

       G         D             Em     D 
Long before he encountered the bottle 

        G           D          G  D  G  D 
And the demons that drove her away_

       G          D           Em         D 
In his hand he is holding her photograph 

    G         D                G    D 
Her image all tear-stained and worn 

  G            D         Em    D 
Tonight he's embracing reality 

       G          D          G    G-Gadd9-
And he curses the day he was born 
CHORUS:
G       C                         G 
And the darkness still echoes her warning 

    C              G             Em 
You can't have two loves in your life 

        G 
Now the things that will haunt him 

         G   Gadd9 G  C 
'Til the day that  he dies____

       G    N.C.
Is the smell of cheap whiskey 

       (D)           G        F-Em-Dm-G     F-Em- 
And the sound of goodbye___

Dm        G                            Em 
Since the hour that she left he's been sober 

         G              D               G 
And each breath that he draws makes him think 

                                    Em 
About the light of his life lost forever 

        G          D          G     G-Gadd9-
When he traded her love for a drink
CHORUS:
G       C                         G 
And the darkness still echoes her warning 

    C              G             Em 
You can't have two loves in your life 

        G 
Now the things that will haunt him 

         G   Gadd9 G  C 
'Til the day that  he dies____

       G    N.C.
Is the smell of cheap whiskey 

       (D)           G       
And the sound of goodbye___
INSTRUMENTAL: G G-Gadd9-G-C G C G F-Em-Dm-G G-Gadd9- CHORUS:
G       C                         G 
And the darkness still echoes her warning 

    C              G             Em 
You can't have two loves in your life 

        G 
Now the things that will haunt him 

         G   Gadd9 G  C 
'Til the day that  he dies____

       G    N.C.
Is the smell of cheap whiskey 

       (D)           G 
And the sound of goodbye___
