Whiskey Doesn’t Work

[C]Used to I could shake a goodbye [Am]On a bar stool on a long night

[F]I could have the leaving gone [G]By the time the lights came on

[C]But here I am rounding round four [Am]And only wanting you more

[F]Stirring up ice in an empty cup is just [G]stirring up memories of us

Like [F]lightening striking under neon signs [G]Usually by now I feel fine…

 

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt

The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby

[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown

I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work

 

[C]Guess I shouldn't be so sur[Am]prised That even through blood shot eyes

[F]That picture of you in the dresser drawer Is [G]just as beautiful as before

[F]It must be late, they're clearing out [G]Usually I'm good and numb by now

 

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt

The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby

[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown

I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work

 

Like [F]lightening striking under neon signs [G]I'm a lot of things but I'm not fine

 

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt

The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby

[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown

I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work
