G
The night's just getting longer
Am              G
Oh, am I still lonely?
G
And the days are getting slower
Am                                  G
Is this for some reason? I'm still lonely

Chorus:
 D             C                G
Now that I've got everything I wanted
Em       C
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Am                             G
Now I found all things that I wanted
D        C               G
Still a bad taste in my mouth

See, I sent away my baby
I sent her packing without a chain
So now she ain't my baby
Yeah, but I still love her all the same

Chorus

Am          Em            G        D
So take me down there in time and feed me liquor
Am       Em        D
I don't want pain tonight
            C
Where do I run to?
           Em      G             C
Where do I run to now that I've lost you?

Chorus:
Now I've got everything I've wanted
There's still a bad taste in my mouth
And now I've found all the things that I wanted
There's still a bad taste in my mouth
There's still a bad taste in my mouth
There's still a bad taste in my mouth
