Intro: (E) (E) (E) (E)

Boots (F#m) on bar stool three fingers ninety proof nothing's (E) broken
Having (F#m) me a good time trying to keep my mind in the (E) moment
I should be (C#m) burning up the neon but I'm stirring up the morning reg(A)ret
It's (B/D#) like I (C#m) know it's gonna happen even though it isn't happening (A) yet (B)

  Why does (E) one more night sound right when I know that it (C#m) don't?
  Why do (A) last-call lights make me call you when I say that I (B) won't?
  Why do (E) goodbye songs make me want you so bad?
  Girl I (C#m) know that it's wrong but your kiss is a glass
  Of good (F#m) whiskey I can't water down
  Old (A) flames are hard (Am) fires to put (E) out

Nothing (F#m) said at the door
As your dress hits the floor
Get the (E) match lit
From a (F#m) spark to a bed
You'll be gone I'll be left
With the (A) ashes
It always ha(B)ppens

REPEAT CHORUS

Every (D) time I think it's over you (A) wind up coming over
And the (F#m) moving (G#m) on gets (A) lost in the heat of the (B) smoke
So hell if I know

REPEAT CHORUS
