C#
Shakin' like the Devil when she lets me go
                                        F#
Got a new place, and how it's so much better
C#
Falling over myself, the televisions' on,
                    G#  Adim
I turn it off and smile
     A#m                          F#
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
        G   G#  A   A#m
Before you say goodbye

Chorus:
                          C#
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
                       F#
And I'll drink it by myself
                  A#m
And I love you endlessly,
                  G#               F#
Darling don't you see I'm not satisfied
                 G#
Until I hold you tight
                          C#
Give me one more chance tonight
                          F#
And I swear I'll make it right
                           A#m
But you ain't got time for this
                           G#
And that wreckin' bell is ringin'
                 F#
And I'm not satisfied
              G#
Until I hold you

C#                          F#
Jennifer, tell me where I stand
               D#m               G#  Adim
And who's that boy holdin' your hand?
     A#m                          F#
Oh, Jennifer, you know I always tried
        G   G#  A   A#m
Before you say goodbye

Chorus:
Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I never liked your hair
Or those people that you lie with
And I'm not satisfied until I hold you tight
And I love you endlessly
Darling don't you see?
I can't be satisfied until I hold you tight

Leave the bourbon on the shelf
And I'll drink it by myself
And I love you endlessly,
Darling don't you see
I'm not satisfied
