(Verse 1)
(Em) The whiskey starts to (G)hate me, when I run to your (C)memory
And (C)keep on dancin' 'round it all damn night
(Em) And to-morrow I'll sit and (G)daydream of another life that's (C)make-believe
And (C)try to act like I'm alright
But (C)if I said I'm (D)fine, then I'd be (Em)lyin'
'Cause (C)right now deep in-(Em)side I feel like (D)dyin'

(Chorus)
(C) So tell me what do I got to (Em)do to get you outta my (D)head
Get your ghost up outta my (Bm)bed, there's nothing I ain't (C)tried
You're out there with someone (Em)new, like I didn't mean a damn thing to (D)you
So while you're getting over me to-(D)night, I'll be barely gettin' (Em)by / / / (G) /

(Verse 2)
Guess I should've (Em)seen it
But it (G)don't matter 'cause you ran off with every (C)reason
To (C)try and find a place and time to be-(Em)lieve that
You'd (G)ever stick around with a boy wanted for (C)dealin'
The (C)wrong cards at the wrong time in the (D)wrong life

(Chorus)
(C) So tell me what do I got to (Em)do to get you outta my (D)head
Get your ghost up outta my (Bm)bed, there's nothing I ain't (C)tried
You're out there with someone (Em)new, like I didn't mean a damn thing to (D)you
So while you're getting over me to-(D)night, I'll be barely gettin' (C)by (Em)
Oh, oh (D) / / / (Bm) / / / 

(Out-Chorus)
(C) So tell me what do I got to (Em)do to get you outta my (D)head
Get your ghost up outta my (Bm)bed, there's nothing I ain't (C)tried
You're out there with someone (Em)new, like I didn't mean a damn thing to (D)you
So (D)while you're getting over me to-(Em)night, I'll be barely gettin' (Em)by / / / (G) / / /
