C                               G/B
I'm pushing you away each time I pull up that
old bar stool
Am7             D              G  Gsus4 G
Drownin' you in every drop I drink
C                                G/B
Telling you to go to hell but I'm talking to myself
             Am7                         D  Dsus4 D
Cause you're not around to hear what I think
            C                               G/B
Trying to teach my heart to hate you but it aint
working right
         Gm/A#              Am7        Am7
Now the truth is I'm only drinkin' me lonely
   G   Gsus4 G Gsus4 G
tonight

Chorus:
          C                               G/B
Lord it's more than just thirsty that I'm feeling
inside
             Am7             D           G
Cause these tears I've been cryin' have left me
 Gsus4 G
bone dry
   C                        G/B          Em A7
I wish the bartender had a cure I could buy
         Gm/A#             Am7
But the truth is I'm only drinkin me lonely
   G  Gsus4 G
tonight

He said I'd have to choose between your
love and this old bar room
I just laughed but I guess you knew best
Who cares who's right or wrong tonight,
my better half is gone
And this whiskey's laying claim to all that's left
So I'll just order up another and pretend
I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only
Drinkin' me lonely tonight

Chorus

So I'll just order up another and pretend
I'm all right
When the truth is I'm only
Drinkin' me lonely tonight
