           D           C          G            D
There's a tear in the mud on the banks of the river
         G                      A
And the sound of a lover's goodbye
       D          C              G            D
And a pain in my heart 'cause I could not forgive
her
           G           A        D
That's as deep as the river is wide

I'm lost and I'm lonesome when I look in the mirror
I don't like the man that I see
And the more that I look, the more it gets clearer
Pride made a fool out of me

Chorus:
       G
So I drink all night
But the hurtin' won't stop
            D
And every shot I take just turns into teardrops
       G
And I lay down to sleep
                            A
And I pray I don't open my eyes
C                D
To a whiskey sunrise

The cold wind blows and the leaves start to scatter
And the rain will be comin' on soon
And everything's wrong and nothin' don't matter
And a black cloud is crossin' the moon

Chorus:
So I drink all night
But the hurtin' won't stop
And every shot I take just turns into teardrops
And I lay down to sleep
And I pray I don't open my eyes
To a whiskey sunrise
