E A E
I've heard it said it takes twice the length of an affair for the heart to heal
B
And if that's the case then I guess in 20 years I'll be sitting in this bar
E G#
room still. 'cause you were the one I felt that I was lucky just to have you by
F#m A
my side. Now it's ten years gone and I'm sittin' all alone with this bottle for
E
a place to hide.
(chorus)
B A
bar time is 6:30 and you're still on my mind
B A
by 8:15 I'll have had a couple in me
A E
and forgotten you were even mine
by 9:43 I'll be regretting my decisions
C#m
and cursing this city of sin
B
by 10:15 I'll be stinkin' of whiskey
A E
and thinking of you again
E A
Now I've heard it said by many of my friends you were a girl I should leave
E
alone. They said "all you're gonna get is a pocket full of regrets and a
B E
broken down rotary phone." Now all I've got are those and 15 "I told you
G# F#m
so's" so I guess I'm the one to blame. Sitting on a stool feeling like a
A E
broken fool. A tarnished drunkard with a tarnished name.
(chorus)
