G                  Em                 C
Whiskey nights and jukebox lights and honky-tonkin' friends
    D                                   C               G
And hangin' out from dusk till dawn and softly slippin' in
G                    Em                 C
Lies were told, life took it's toll and brought love to it's knees
                     G                    D          G
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me


Chorus:
    D              C               G  
She never turned a bottle up and I never turned one down
         A                           C                  D
She gave me a thousand chances but I took them all down town
   G                     Em            C
It broke her heart, tore her apart, to make me a memory
                     G                    D          G 
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me



She tried love, then she got tough, but nothing changed my mind
The bottle was my weakness, I was livin' whiskey time
Now it's too late and my heart's payin' for the things I should have seen
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me

Chorus

Yes, it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me
