Am
I've tried to going out
C
Running 'round with the party crowd
Am
Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak didn't mean a thing
C
I've tried to burning it up and the shutting it down
Look how that's turned out
Am
I've done everything
C
But givin' in to the pain
So tonight
[Chorus]
F
I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
Am7
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon
Dm7
I ain't gonna lie
I'm so lonesome I could cry
F
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
Am7
Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember
Dm7
Ever since you left
I've been trying to paint it red
F
But tonight, I'm doing something new
Am
I'm gonna paint the town bluuue-ue-ue-ue-ue
C
I'm gonna paint the town blue
