Capo 1st Fret

Intro: (A) (A) (D)

Well, I (D) don't know why you left me
But I do know that you're gone
Overnight you turned my life
Into a sad old (A) song
(D) One way or another
I'm gonna (G) get me over you
Well, I (D) think there's only one thing (A) left 
For me to (D) do

  I (G) don't wanna die of a broken heart
  (D) That would be too sad
  Or (G) drive my car off a cliff
  You see, (D) that would just hurt too (A) bad
  If I (D) tied a rope around my neck
  But, I couldn't catch my (G) breath
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A) tonk myself to (D) death

(A) (A) (D)

Well I (D) might get a little bit crazy
But I don't wanna go insane
Young women and old whiskey
Well, it just might kill the (A) pain
I'm gonna (D) find the highest barstool
(G) Climb up to the top
I (D) think I'll just drink and (A) 2-step 
'Till I (D) drop

  I (G) don't wanna die of a broken heart
  (D) That would be too sad
  Or (G) drive my car off a cliff
  You see, (D) that would just hurt too (A) bad
  If I (D) tied a rope around my neck
  But, I couldn't catch my (G) breath
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A) tonk myself to (D) death 

(G)  (G)  (D)  (D)  (G)  (G)  (D)  (A)

  If I (D) tied a rope around my neck
  But, I couldn't catch my (G) breath
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A) tonk myself to (D) death 
  I (D) think I'll just honky (A) tonk myself to (D) death
