(Verse)
I don't like pointing (Am)fingers, but girl you're the (F)reason
That brown bottle (C)keeps coming off the shelf
Might be holding the (Am)shot glass or paying the (F)bar tab
But this broken (C)heart didn't break itself
They say I ain't the (Am)same guy you knew before (F)
I don't (C)even know me no more - - -

(Chorus)
I've been off the (Am)deep end, staying off the (F)main roads
Ducking out of (C)parties, if I ain't a no show
I've been shooting (Am)ninety in between the (F)longnecks
Putting you be-(C)hind me’s, got me in a train wreck
Throw the (Am)flame around, run my (F)name down
Right (C)now I kinda hate me to
But I (Am)am the way I (F)am because of you |(Am) / / / |(F) / / / |(C) / / / |

(Verse)
                  Am
I don't wanna be (Am)crazy, but darling you (F)make me
Keep going (C)back on to moving on
Been scrolling through (Am)memories in between getting (F)gone
And I ain't the (C)same since you did me wrong

(Chorus)
'Cause I've been off the (Am)deep end, staying off the (F)main roads
Ducking out of (C)parties, if I ain't a no show
I've been shooting (Am)ninety in between the (F)longnecks
Putting you be-(C)hind me’s, got me in a train wreck
Throw the (Am)flame around, run my (F)name down
Right (C)now I kinda hate me to
But I (Am)am the way I (F)am because of you

(Solo)
|(Am) / / / |(F) / / / |(C) / / / |(C)
 
(Break)
(Am)You've been telling this whole town half the (F)truth
Saying I changed up, right out the (G)blue
But baby that (G)ain't right, I ain't the (F)same guy
But if they (F)knew I

(Chorus)
I've been off the (Am)deep end, straying off the (F)main roads
Ducking out of (C)parties, if I ain't a (G)no show
I've been shooting (Am)ninety in between the (F)longnecks
Putting you be-(C)hind me’s, got me in a train wreck
Throw the (Am)flame around, run my (F)name down
Tell the (C)whole town half of the truth
But I (Am)am the way I (F)am because of you (Am) (F)
But I (C)am the way I am because of you
