Well something like an open whiskey bottle,
G
Burns to watch you walk across the floor
Bmi A
Well I sold my shit, I'm leavin' Colorado;
G
I don't think I'll miss it anymore
D
But she called to say she's sorry for her leavin'
A
I told her "I miss her" through the phone
Bmi A
But when these things , well, they happen for a reason -
G
I don't think I'm seein' it at all
Bmi A D G
Just help me fade , fade away tonight...
D
Fade away tonight

It's time we'll find us both exiting as strangers
G
Burn away before our time is through.
Bmi
You was wild and you was free,
A D
You was true, you gave up all our dreams,
G
now all that I could think about is you
D
But we both know I never was no good man.
A
Well I always told you, honey, I was cursed.
Bmi A
But I should've learned to put this fuckin' guitar down,
G
and buy the wedding ring we both know you deserved.
D A G
But when I don't know a goddamn thing about it,
D A G
Well I probably oughta learn to shut my mouth.
D A
It just hurt so goddamn bad,
Bmi A G
For Me to be around it,

So I did my best to just stay somewhere else.
A
But when I come back around...
G
It always breaks my goddamn heart...
