Well, if you live in [E] dusty twilight, [B] baby, that's okay
[C] Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day Mmm, yeah
[F] And if your hands are clenched in sorrow, may it help you ease your pain
Though the windows have a view of [Eb] city rain
City rain
I had been [A] in love with this wonderful person, and [Bm] as our relationship progressed,
I began [D] to notice that certain things were starting to fall apart a little.
[Bm] He was becoming unreliable, [G] he was [D] seemingly not where he said he was going to be,
started not coming home at night, you know, started staying out all night,
and [Bm] started being a little too interested in [Em] other people, and I'm saying [D] to myself,
[A] you know, I'm seeing all this drinking [G] going on, I see alcohol all [D] the time,
and one day I said to him, I said, do you maybe think you have a drinking problem?
And he said, oh no, he said, I can stop [Em] anytime I want.
[A]
[D] [Bm] He was leaving me again, and [A] I launched myself and [G] grabbed him around the legs,
and I was like, no, [D] no, don't leave, don't leave, [Bm] I'm pulling at his clothing,
and I [Em] think I ripped his jacket off, [A] and I did everything that I could do,
but [Bm] I gave my last ounce of strength, [Em] and he still left.
And something in me [D] went, this is too much for me.
Well if wisdom [G] says to let him go, [D] then it's hell,
[Bm] because you just don't know [Em] till you've tried to love a man who's [A] loving whiskey,
[A] [D] loving whiskey.
[Dm]
[D] And then I began to think, this drinking thing really is a problem,
and I made a [Bm] phone call to kind of a helpline,
and I get somebody on the phone who goes, you [Bm] can't save him.
[Em] She said, he's a sinking ship, [D] and he's trying to pull you down,
that's part of the words of the song.
And I began to realize that I had to let him go.
It was one of the hardest things I ever did.
Well they tell [Bm] you on the telephone to [Em] let him go,
I [D] said they tell you he's a sinking [Em] ship,
and he's trying to pull [A] you down, [G] [A] don't you know.
[Bm] Well it's a funny thing, because it was a letter saying,
[G] fine if you want to [D] leave me and walk away and not look back,
[Bm] and that's what that letter was.
[G] [D] And so I had, if you think about it, no intention of ever even making it [Bm] a song.
[G] The piece of music was already recorded with [Bm] no words.
So it was perfect, and I take my letter, and I [D] think to myself,
I wonder if this letter would make a good [Em] song.
And I had no thought that anyone [C] would care.
I sang it one time [E] in the studio, because I thought no one will care.
[Ab] Don't let him [Bb] go, then it's hell, [Cm] because you just don't know
until you've [Eb] tried a love of many [Bb] items.
Love and whiskey, love and whiskey.
Sing it Carol.
Was it important for you that the song was recorded by [Bb] Anouk?
Oh of course it was.
[Eb] And how did I, [Bb] the first indication I had [Eb] was that I got a check in the mail.
[Bb] I said, boy, love and whiskey is still getting a lot of airplay, isn't it?
They said, well it's been recorded again, and someone [Gm] has another hit with it.
And I'm like, [A] great.
[Bm] My baby left me, [D] left me for the bomb.
Never leave me, never leave me.
Good times and crazy women,
and another glass of tangerine.
[Bm] When it's wisdom [D] says don't let him go,
then you know [Bm] it's hell, because you [Em] just don't know
[D] until you've tried the love of many,
whose love and whiskey, [Gm] love and whiskey.
[D]
I think the [Bm] message that I took from it was survival.
That [D] another person will not destroy [Bm] me.
[Em] [D] Just know I have to keep [A] going.
I [G] had to let it [D] go far enough so that he could move on and I could move on.
[A] [E]
[E] [N]
[C] Cause there are women at the bar to greet you every day Mmm, yeah
