        E                                A
On the counter sits an empty bottle of whiskey
E                           A
Sure tried to drown myself last night
       E                            A
And a cigarette still burns on the nightstand
by my bed
E                                 A
I sure tried to smoke you out of my head
       E
But I guess I'm the one that played the fool
            A
and not the other way around
       E                              A
I was home holdin' on, you were out tryin'
              B
to paint the town

Chorus:
           A                                  E
So I keep losin' you in this black and white label
       F#m                              B
Oh the man from Tennessee sure does me fine
               A
But when I'm knockin' back number seven it
         E
makes me able
               F#m       B              E
To have the strength to get you off my mind

On the counter sits a picture of me and you
But the past sure hits me hard tonight
And the whiskey that I'm drinkin'
Well it sure don't taste like you
But somehow it makes me feel alright
Well there's no sense holdin' on
But baby I sure can't let go
And I'm losin' you one drink at a time

Chorus

               F#m
I know there's no place I can go
               B
I know theres nothin' I can do
        F#m
So baby ill just keep on drinkin'
       B
To forget about you

Chorus:
I keep losin' you in this black and white label
Oh the man from Tennessee sure does me fine
When I'm knockin' back number seven it makes me able
To have the strength to get you off my mind
Get you off my mind
