[Intro]
| C G | D Em |
| C G | D |
[Verse 1]
C G
When it's on the rocks
D Em
It gets me on my feet again
C G
Gets me halfway to okay
D Em
Gets me downtown with my friends
C G
When it's shot for shot
D Em
It goes right to my head
C G
I'm alright, I'm doing fine
D Em
Gets me good as I can get
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
For a minute I was thinking
D Em
It was getting me close
C G D
But by the bottom of the bottle I know
[Chorus]
C G
What the whisky won't do
D Em
Is hit me strong enough
C G D
To forget about us and I've had a few
C G
Even one hundred proof
D Em
No, it can't change the fact
C G D
That I can't get you back, oh, it's true
C G
What the whisky won't do
D
Is get me over you
[Post-Chorus]
| C G | D Em |
[Verse 2]
C G
The first sip will make me smile
D Em
My girlfriends do their best
C G
Drinking doubles like I'm single
D Em
But I don't feel it yet
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
When that bourbon hits the ice
D Em
I get that old Kentucky high
C G D
But only for a moment or two
[Chorus]
C G
What the whisky won't do
D Em
Is hit me strong enough
C G D
To forget about us and I've had a few
C G
Even one hundred proof
D Em
No, it can't change the fact
C G D
That I can't get you back, oh, it's true
C G
What the whisky won't do
D Em C G D Em
Is get me over you
[Solo]
| C G | D Em |
| C G | D |
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
For a minute I was thinking
D Em
It was getting me close
C G D
But by the bottom of the bottle I know (I know, I know)
[Chorus]
C G
What the whisky won't do
D Em
Is hit me strong enough
C G D
To forget about us and I've had a few
C G
Even one hundred proof
D Em
No, it can't change the fact
C G D
That I can't get you back, oh, it's true
C G D
What the whisky won't do (What the whisky won't do)
Em C G D
Is get me over you (Get me over you)
Em C G D
Is get me over you (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah)
Em C G D
(What the whisky won't do) Is get me over you
