(Verse 1)
(D)Whiskey is the gasoline that lights the fire that burns the bridge
(Bm)Ice creates the water that's no longer runnin' under it
(G)Stool holds the fool that pours the whiskey on his brok-(D)en (C)heart
(D)Cigarettes create the smoke that hides the lonesome in his eyes
The (Bm)jukebox plays Hank, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
(G)Dance floor holds the folks trying to forget who (Bm)they are (A)
And (G)that's what happens in (A)every little honky tonk (D)bar

(Chorus)
Friday (G)night, it's a (A)given
I'll be (D)L-I-(A)V-N, (Bm)livin'
We'll (G)dance on the bar 'til we're (A)sleeping it off in the (D)car
Monday (G)morning, it's a (A)given
I'll be (D)D-R-A-(A)G-N, (Bm)draggin'
And (G)that's what happens in (A)every little honky tonk (D)bar

(Verse 2)
(D)Neon lights flashing bright 'til you're almost hypnotized
(Bm)Waitress, short skirt, gets hit on by every guy
(G)Comin' and goin', always rollin' with the (A)flow
(D)Bartender, pour our drinks; Codigo, do a shot
You (Bm)think you're tall and bulletproof until somebody says you're not
You (G)step outside thinkin' you're gonna show 'em you (A)are
And (G)that's what happens in (A)every little honky tonk (D)bar

(Chorus)
Friday (G)night, it's a (A)given
We'll be (D)L-I-V-N, (Bm)livin'
We'll (G)dance on the bar 'til we're (A)sleeping it off in the (D)car
Monday (G)morning, it's a (A)given
We'll be (D)D-R-A-(A)G-N, (Bm)draggin'
And (G)that's what happens in (A)every little honky tonk (D)bar
Yeah, (G)that's what happens in (A)every little honky tonk (G)bar
