[F]
[Bb] [C]
[F] Every day I [Bb] tell myself [C] it's temporary
But [F] [C] [B]
[Bb] it's only [Gm] cause she's young that [Bb] makes her want [C] another man
[Gm] [F] Even though she makes [Bb] me feel [C] unnecessary
[B] [Bb] I found a way [C] to help me [F] understand
[Bb] [F]
I've got [Bb] this drinkin' thing to [F] keep from thinkin' things
About where [Gm] you've been, [Bb] who you've been with, [F] what you've done
And it's [Bb] a lonely thing, but [F] it's the only thing
To [Bb] keep a foolish [C] man in love [F] hangin' on
I wait up at [Bb] home all lonely, [C] ask her questions
[Dm] [C] [Bb] She'd probably tell the [Gm] truth, [Bb] so I don't [C] even ask
[Bb]
[F] So I sit here on [Bb] this bar stool, [C] feelin' helpless
I [B]
[Bb] wonder just [C] how long a [F] man can [Gm] last
[F] I've got [Bb] this drinkin' thing to keep [F] from thinkin' things
About [Gm] where you've been, who [Bb] you've been with, what [F] you've done
And it's [Bb] a lonely thing, but [F] it's the only thing
To [Gm] keep a [Bb] foolish man [C] in love [F] hangin' on
I've got [Bb] this drinkin' thing to keep [F] from thinkin' things
About [Gm] where you've been
[Bb]
