Capo 1st Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (A) (A) (D) (D) 

Well, I (D) don't know why you left me
But I do know that you're gone
Overnight, you've turned my life in(A7)to a sad ol' song
And (D) one way or another, I gotta (G) get me over you
And I (D) think there's only one thing (A7) left for me to (D) do.

  Lord, 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 (A7) bad
  And if I (D) tied a rope around my neck
  I (D7) couldn't get my (G) breath
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A7) tonk myself to (D) death.

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

Well, I might get a little bit crazy
But I don't wanna go insane
Young women and old whiskey
Well, it might just kill the pain
I'm gonna find the highest barstool and I'm gonna climb up to the top
Yeah, I think I'll just drink and two-step till I drop.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(GUITAR SOLO)

  And if I (D) tied a rope around my neck
  I (D7) couldn't get my (G) breath
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A7) tonk myself to (D) death.
  I think I'll honky (A7) tonk myself to (D) death.
