Well, these memories of mine don't seem to know you're gone
D
They just cause my pain to stay and linger on
D7 G
I fool myself each night and say everything will be okay
A7 D
But I know, my dear, I'm telling me a lie
[Chorus]
G D
When we went our separate ways, the bottle helped me through the days
A7 D D7
But the nighttime always found me wanting you
G D
But when I wake from this restless sleep, I find you're only in my dreams
A7 D
And then I know, my dear, I'm telling me a lie

D A7
I find myself call out your name, although you're not around

And talking to these shadows have got me down
D7 G
I must be an awful sight, hugging my pillow every night
A7 D
'cause I know, my dear, I'm telling me a lie
[Chorus]
G D
When we went our separate ways, the bottle helped me through the day

But the nighttime always found me wanting you
G D
But when I wake from this restless sleep, I find you're only in my dreams

And then I know, my dear, I'm telling me a lie
A7 D
And then I know, my dear, I'm telling me a lie
