INTRO: G/// D7/// G//// G//// 


G
I thought this old bottle,
      G7            C
Would help me to forget,
         G
And wash away all my troubles,
                       D7
But it hasn't happened yet.
        G
There's angels all around me,
        G7              C
But the fire just won't die,
                G        D7              G
And I'd pay the devil to help me say goodbye.


CHORUS:
G              F   C
It's the smoke and mirrors,
                    G
The jukebox and the wine,
          F     C           A7            D7
That keep these embers from burnin' up my mind,
             C                             G  C
And I'd find heaven in the arms of someone else,
    G           D7              G
But tonight her memory's raisin hell.


G/// D7/// G/// turnaround


G
When she left me she told me,
                 G7      C
She was glad for what we had,
        G
But she lied when she told me,
                     D7
She was never coming back,
G
Here I am feeling,
    G7              C
The way I've always felt,
              G
Lord, can you save me,
       D7             G
'Cause I can't save myself.



REPEAT CHORUS


G           D                G
Tonight her memory's raisin' hell.
