C          G                    Am
I've been walking straight too long
      C                G              Am
On a thin sharp line, fading, almost gone
F           Dm
Feeling my shadow get close,
G                        E               Am
Even it knows there's a hard rain comin' on

Chorus:
Am                  Em
I'm I'm drinkin' tonight
                    G
Gonna give up the fight
                             Dm
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey

Am                  Em
I'm, I'm lovin' you in
                 G
The ghost of my sin
                                  Dm
And the taste of goodbye on your lips

When you kissed me
                      F
'Til I can't take anymore
            Am
Poison's a cure

C                  G
To hell with your memory,
               Am
Gonna burn it down
C              G                     Am
I choke back tears 'til I damn near drown
F            Dm
What do you do with a man
      G
With dirt on his hands
       E                     Am
And a deep hole dug in the ground

Chorus:
Am                       Em
And I'm, I'm drinkin' tonight
                    G
Gonna give up the fight
                             Dm
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey

Am                  Em
I'm, I'm lovin' you in
                 G
The ghost of my sin
                                  Dm
And the taste of goodbye on your lips

When you kissed me
                      F
'Til I can't take anymore
            Am
Poison's a cure

Dm                                    Am
I'm chasing my demons with a shot of Crown
C
Let 'em all have their way
E
'Til I see the light of day

Chorus:
       Am
But tonight
                Em
I'm drinkin' tonight
                   G
Gonna give up the fight
                             Dm
The only thing stronger than you is whiskey

Am                  Em
I'm, I'm lovin' you in
                 G
The ghost of my sin
                                  Dm
And the taste of goodbye on your lips

When you kissed me
                 F
I can't take anymore
                       Am
I hope the poison's a cure

E                F
I can't take anymore
                       Am
I hope the poison's a cure
