Told myself I'd never fall for a little charm and alcohol

I was gone

With a dried-up whiskey bottle
F
An empty pack of Marlboro
C
Ashes falling in the tray

From workin' that night away

The hands that he put on my hips

I locked all my regret

In a drawer beside his bed in
Am Em F
In that one night stand

By the time I made it home

Looked in the mirror and it was gone

All of those pearls my mama passed down to me

It hit me right where it had to be

With a dried-up whiskey bottle

An empty pack of Marlboro

Ashes falling in the tray

From workin' that night away

Like the red he took right off my lips
