[A] [F#m]
[A] [F#m]
[A] I came home [D] to find you were gone [A] on a cold gray morning
I remember now [D] that's the way that you said it [A] would be
[D] Like living in [G] a bad dream
[Bm] [C] Alcohol [F] and a blood stream
I'm gonna have to [A] do
Till [F#m] I forget [A] about you
[F#m] [E] [A]
Ooh, [D] till I [A] forget about you
[F#m] [A] Some dead wildflowers [D] and a bottle of vodka [A] on the kitchen table
Flowers for the good [D] times and the booze [A] for the bad
I [B] [C#] [D]
could [G] curse and I can [Bm] scream
[C] But alcohol [F] and a blood stream
[A] I'm gonna have to do
Till [F#m]
I forget [A] about you
[F#m]
[A] Ooh, till I forget about you
Now [F#m] my strings are all [E] unstrung
Everything I could [C#m] do [D] I've done
Just waiting for daylight [E] to come To come
[F#m] [B] [F#m]
[E]
[D]
[E]
[A] I wonder where you've [D] gone and I wonder how [A] long I can take this loneliness
The two hundred first [D] cap heifers and a [A] deal is a deal I guess
But then [D] I'll roll my [G] bed, I'll get away clean
[C] And alcohol [F] and a blood stream
I'm gonna quit [A] you too
And [F#m] I'll forget [A] about you
[F#m] [A]
Ooh, [D] till I [A] forget about you
[F#m] [A] Ooh, till I forget about you
[F#m] Ooh, [A]
till I forget about you
