[Intro: ](Cadd9) (Cadd9) (Gadd9) (Gadd9) x 2
Oh, (Cadd9) off across the room
She sits a(Gadd9)lone
(Cadd9) Pretty as a picture
Sadder than a (Gadd9) sad song
Well, I'll (Cadd9) do what it takes
Tr(Gadd9)y whatever works
I (Cadd9) can't just sit here
And (D) watch her hurt
While (Gadd9) she sorts out why Mister (D) Right did her wrong
I give her (Cadd9) one more drink
And a (D) few more songs
In the (Gadd9) barroom haze, all a(D)lone she sits
Yeah, (Cadd9) she's about as lonely
As (D) I'm gonna let her (Cadd9) get
Oh sittin' lonely at the bar
Tryin' to drown the past
Starin' at her broken heart
At the bottom of her glass
Oh, I don't want to push her
But I can't take much more
Think I'm gonna have to step up
And show her heartache to the door
