• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Intro:

G#m

Verse:
G#m              E
I wake up Sunday morning
G#m                   E
with my mind all in a haze
G#m                 E
Tears stained on my pillow
G#m              E
and makeup on my face.

Chorus:
E                         G#m
I see those empty whiskey bottles and records scattered on the floor.
E                             D#             Em                        G#m
And from the next room I hear crying, then I remember the night before.

Verse:
G#m                      E
I saw her dancing at the party
                              G#m
so young with laughter in her face
G#m                       E
And when the others had departed
                    G#m
convincing words and she stayed late

Chorus:
E                           G#m     E                            G#m
And now those empty whiskey bottles they stand accusing from the floor.
E                              D#                                   G#m
Then I hear footsteps as she's leaving, yes she remembers the night before

Verse:
           C#m                                   G#m
If I could turn back the clock, turn it back to yesterday
          C#m               D# G#m
There are things I wouldn't do and things I wouldn't say

E
G#m
E
G#m
E                           G#m      E                  G#m
But now those empty whiskey bottles, within my mind forevermore
E                         D#             E                  G#m
And in the silence I hear crying yes I remember the night before

Outro:
G#m
