Intro:
C G/B Am7 G F G4 G
[Verso 1]
C G/B
We were two heartbeats away
Am7 G F
From wedding rings and a pretty ballgown dress
G4 G C G
At the church off 40 West
C G/B Am7
And we were talking 'bout our future on the steps
G F
Of your daddy's screened in porch
G4 G
That if I'd ask you'd tell me yes
C G/B Am7 G
Well, it only took a month or so to be someone you used to know
F G4 G
You didn't really have to go but you did
C G/B
And I've never been a somber soul
Am7 G
But part of me ain't here no more
F G4 G
And I've been trying to find him ever since
[Refrão]
C G/B
So now I take my whiskey sour
Am7 G
Sitting barside after hours
F C/E Dm7 G
Thinking how can I get over if the love was never ours?
C G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
Am7 G
All my Xs and my Os
F C/E
And it kills me by the hour
Dm7 G C G/B Am7 G F G4 G
Now I take my whiskey sours alone
[Verso 2]
C G/B
'Cause that one night under neon
Am7 G
Was the first time you ordered me one
F
And you told me that you loved me
G4 G
But was it ever true?
C G/B
'Cause your promises were empty
Am7 G
Now I'm drinking one too many
F G4 G
Drowning out the memory of you
[Refrão]
C G/B
So now I take my whiskey sour
Am7 G
Sitting barside after hours
F C/E Dm G
Thinking how can I get over if the love was never ours?
C G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
Am7 G
All my Xs and my Os
F C/E
And it kills me by the hour
Dm G7
Now I take my whiskey sours
Break:
Am
And I don't know why I do it
Am/G
It's supposed to help me through it
F C/E Dm
But it's harder when it always tastes like you
Am
And every time I hit rock bottom
Em
I don't know what I should do
F C/E Dm G
Should I call you up again or should I settle for round two?
[Refrão]
C G/B
And just take my whiskey sour
Am G
Sitting barside after hours
F G4 G
Thinking how can I get over if the love was never ours?
C G/B
Hell, I know you got my message
Am G
All my Xs and my Os
F C
And it kills me by the hour
Dm G C G/B Am G
Now I take my whiskey sours alone

F (C/E)
And it kills me by the hour
