F Bb C
 
F Bb C C C/B Bb
Every day I tell myself it's temporary
Bb Cm
That it's only 'cause she's young
Bb C
That makes her want another man
F Bb C C C/B Bb
Even though she makes me feel unecessary
Bb C F
I've found a way to help me understand
 
[Refrão] Bb
I've got this drinking thing
F
To keep from thinkin’ things
Cm
'Bout where you been,
Bb
who you been with
F
What you've done
F Bb
And it's a lonely thing
F
But it's the only thing
Bb C F
To keep a foolish man in love hanging on
 
If I wait up at home I'll only ask her questions
She'd probably tell the truth,
So I don't even ask
So I sit here on this barstool feeling helpless
And I wonder just how long a man can last
