Patty Loveless

Capo 1

Intro: G   D   G   D

Verse One:

D
Don't do it darlin, don't you dare look in there
             G                       
You said you didn't want to see me, 
                                    D 
But you've been looking for me everywhere
        A                                     
And you know that you're gonna find me 
       G               D 
if you keep on drinkin fast
       G         A          Bm                
'Cause honey I'm right here waitin on you 
       G              D 
At the bottom of your glass


Chorus One:

    G                 D
And here I am, here I am
       G                 D        
In the bourbon and the water 
     A                    G  
That burn you just like a brand, 
     A  D
Here I am

Verse Two:

D
It ain't workin darlin, hard as you may try
         G         
You keep hearin the words you told me 
                  D
In everyone's goodbye
        A                              
And you know that you're just one step 
     G                 D
From another one being gone
  G         A            Bm           
I know I've seen 'em all unravel, 
          G               D 
I've been watchin' it all along.

Chorus Two:

G                 D
Here I am, here I am
   G                   D        
In every lie you're hearin  
     A                    G           A D  
That burn you just like a brand, here I am

Bridge:

          Em7   D/F#     G         A      Bm7   D/F#   G
And honey I got over you passin me over a long  time  ago
        Em7       D/F#     G          A  F#7   
And my pride was stronger when I was younger, 
    Bm                     G     G9
Now I'd rather have you to know

Chorus Three
     G                 D
That here I am, here I am
        G             D       A                G              
I still carry a flame for you burnin me like a brand,    
     A  D    G  D    G    D
here I am
