C           Am                Em
We've been turnin' into strangers
        F               C
Now we barely even touch
      Am               Em
Superficial conversation
            F
'Cause our guard is always up

 C                Am            Em F
I'm not ready to give up on us yet
 C                   Am                Em  F
One last hurrah, it might just do the trick

Chorus:
C     Am           G            F              C
Might be in a bottle, a little proof from the past
      Am            G        F
Might be at the bottom of an empty glass
        C           G          C         F
Don't know if the whiskey can fix it or not
F
But, baby, it's worth a shot
C                  G/B
One shot from the top of the shelf
       Am
Maybe two, what the hell
        F
'Cause we've been on the rocks
 C              G/B
One shot may be all that we got
         Am                     F
I don't know about you, but I think
               C
it's worth a shot

Yeah, if we could lose our inhibitions
And say what we need to say
Then maybe both of us could listen
And get our pride out of the way

'Cause I'm still the guy that used to make you laugh
What would it take for us to get this back? Yeah

Chorus:
It might be in a bottle,
a little proof from the past
It might be at the bottom of an empty glass
Don't know if the whiskey can fix it or not
But, baby, it's worth a shot
One shot from the top of the shelf
Maybe two, what the hell
'Cause we've been on the rocks
One shot may be all that we got
I don't know about you, but
I think it's worth a shot

   F                     C G Am F
I think it's worth a shot

G                                  F
Maybe if we find ourselves in that old
familiar neon glowin'
G                             F                C
Maybe we can stop the gone before it's going (Yeah)

Chorus:
Might be in a bottle, a little proof from the past
Might be at the bottom of an empty glass
Don't know if the whiskey can fix it or not
But, baby, it's worth a shot
One shot from the top of the shelf
Maybe two, what the hell
'Cause we've been on the rocks
One shot may be all that we got
I don't know about you,
but I think it's worth a shot

But I think it's worth a shot
I think it's worth a shot

(I think it's worth a shot)
(I think it's worth a shot)
