D D
She put him out
G G Bm Bm
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
A D D
She broke his heart
G G A
He spent his whole life trying to forget
Bm Bm A
We watched him drink his pain away
D D
A little at a time
Bm Bm A
But he never could get drunk enough
D D A A
To get her off his mind until the night
[Chorus]
D D A A
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Bm Bm Am G G
And finally drank away her memory
D D A A
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm Bm G G
And the strength he had to get up off his knees
D D A A
We found him with his face down in the pillow
Bm Bm G G
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
D D A A
And when we buried him beneath the willow
G G Bm
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
[Post-Chorus]

Until the night
