Drop D
DBack when I said I was leavinG  
You told me not to ever giDve up on usA  
DChanged when you got home from 
TexaGs
BeDcome someone I could trustA  
NDot a week went by after you said G  
 that
I wDas already dreading your callA  
DYou slept with one of my heroesG  
SaiDd you might love him after allA  
(chorus) 
I'm going out in thGe shirt that you
 boughDt me
The Gone you said fit me just right D  
AnGd it'll smell like a new lovers 
perDfume 
EmInstead of you at the end of the night A  
Love is a whole lot like liquor 
A sip, will make you feel fine
But too much it turns into poison 
And it'll rot a man from the inside
So here I am some several years later
Wiser than when you first moaned 
No closer to where I was headin
Good thing my heart is made out of stone
I'm going out in the shirt that you bought me
The one you said fit me just right 
And it'll smell like a new lovers perfume 
Instead of you at the end of the night
I don't care if she's sweet or if she's selfish
I hope she's better looking too
And I'll hold her all night when we're finished
And I'll be gone like I shoulda, shoulda been with you
I'm going out in the shirt that you bought me
The one you said fit me just right 
And it'll smell like a new lovers perfume 
Instead of you at the end of the night
Well I'm going out in the shirt that you bought me
The one you said fit me just right 
And it'll smell like a new lovers perfume 
Well it'll smell like a new lovers perfume
At the end of the night

Well it'll smell like a new lovers perfume

At the end of the night
