🎸 Verse:
 Am
I've tried to going out
                               C
Running 'round with the party crowd
                                                       Am
Yeah, I was acting like that heartbreak didn't mean a thing
                                                 C
I've tried to burning it up and the shutting it down

Look how that's turned out

                Am
I've done everything
                      C
But givin' in to the pain

So tonight


🎸 Chorus:
               F
I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting
                  Am7
I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon

              Dm7
I ain't gonna lie

I'm so lonesome I could cry

                   F
I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender
                    Am7
Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember

               Dm7
Ever since you left

I've been trying to paint it red

       F
But tonight, I'm doing something new

                                                         Am
Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke
                                                                C
