(intro)
2x
E minorEm C majorC
(verse)
E minorEm C majorC
I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people
E minorEm C majorC
Listening to the walking wounded tell their stories
E minorEm C majorC
My turn came I told them my name I said this aint my first time
G+G D MajorD
And then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life
C majorC
With last night on my breath I stood up and said
(chorus)
G+G D MajorD
It ain't the whiskey, it aint the cigarettes
E minorEm C majorC
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget
G+G D MajorD
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
E minorEm C majorC
Well it ain't that easy, it ain't the whiskey
E minorEm C majorC
Thats killing me
(verse)
E minorEm C majorC
So what do you got for this empty spot inside me
E minorEm C majorC
A augmentedA deep dark hole where love used to be
E minorEm C majorC
Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else
G+G D MajorD
Yall sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy
C majorC
Well I hear what you're telling me but I got all the proof I need
(chorus)
G+G D MajorD
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes
E minorEm C majorC
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget

And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
E minorEm C majorC
Well it ain't that easy, cause it aint the whiskey

Thats killing me
