G- C- D  
C- D- G- F#/ G- C  
G- D- G  
(G) I get my © whiskey from a (G) well
(G) except on holi © days Then it's the (D) top shelf
© Tonight I don't (D) mind if I (G) spend a (F#/G) little © more
cause you're a (G) tolerant woman and the (D) world is at (G) war
(G) I know you © witnessed my (G) decline
(G) You used to push back the © darkness like a (D) floodlight
But © tonight that's a (D) secret like the (G) soul (F#/G) of a © whore
That if you (G) want to have fun you just (D) have to (G) ignore
(G) now I let my © troubles solve (G) themselves
(G) I used to get © involved but I'm just (D) no help
But © tonight let's (D) pretend that we're (G) just (F#/G) like we © were
Let me (G) stay until the morning I will (D) sleep on the (G) floor
We could © talk in circles no (G) dollar figures
Just © what is owed or (D) paid
We can © make predictions I know you (G) see the future and I (Am) agree
Yea we (D) agree © tonight's (B/C) not (D) happening (G)
(G) When I got dry as a © desert I got (G) mean
(G) I was as lonely and © empty as a (D) canteen
With © no anes(D)thetic you're (G) bound (F#/G) to be © sore
But (G) tonight I am drinking all (D) peaceful and (G) warm
(G) And just when I got © fed up with that grey (G) sky
(G) the sun came out of © nowhere like a (D) bar fight
And it © knocked out the (D) wind and it (G) bruised (F#/G) me with © light
And I felt (G) grateful for living just like (D) I feel (G) tonight
(G) Well I know you feel © safer in a (G) group
(G) where you could be © anyone or they could (D) be you
But © tonight we'll take (D) risks that (G) you (F#/G) can © afford
You still have (G) bars on your windows and a (D) hole in your (G) door
We can © talk in circles around the (G) dirty mirror
Night © trickles down our (D) throats
Then we'll © make a timeline to (G) last our whole lives
But we (Am) don't know but no one (D) knows
What's © fur(B/C)ther (D) up the (G) road
(Am) Just wait and see
Just wait and (D) see (G)
(Am) All in time
All in (D) time © (G)
