Capo 1st fret
[Chorus]
(a Capella first time)
Just another heartache in waitin'
Just another sweet talkin' dream that ends in lonely nights
Just another handsome breakup
And he'll be gone before the mornin' light
But he's my mistake to make, all night
[Verse 1]
GThis bar is full of locals, Ctourists, drunks and we're all hopeful
Gpraying that tonight will be Dbetter than the Grest
GMost of us think we're movie stars, Cgive us a shot the world is ours
GCome on baby, I think that you and DI ... should Gdance
[Chorus]
GJust another heartache in Dwaitin'
GJust another sweet talkin' Ddream that ends in Clonely nightsG  
GJust another handsome Dbreakup
And he'll be Ggone before the Cmornin' Emlight
But he's Cmy mistake to Dmake, all Gnight
[Verse 2]
GTelling us stories 'bout the younger you
We're Cframed by the names etched in the booth
GLet my shoulder lean on yours in this Dcloud of cigarette Gsmoke
GI lose track of time on purpose, Ctomorrow's gonna be long
but it's worth it to Gfeel the spins of alcohol and DfreeGdom
[Bridge]
C   D- C  
He just might and we still could, I'm debating if I should
[Chorus]
GJust another heartache in Dwaitin'
GJust another sweet talkin' Ddream that ends in Clonely nightsG  
GJust another handsome Dbreakup
And he'll be Ggone before the Cmornin' Emlight
C   D   C- D- Em   G  C  
But he's my mistake to make, all ni-----------ight
COh-oh-oh-o-oh-Doh-oh-oh-o-oh-Emoh-oh-Goh-oh-Coh
[Verse 3]
GThis bar is shuttin' down, CI don't mind if you walk me out
GOh that's kinda what life's aboutD  
[Chorus]
GJust another heartache in Dwaitin'
GJust another sweet talkin' Ddream that ends in Clonely nightsG  
GJust another handsome Dbreakup
And he'll be Ggone before the Cmornin' Emlight
C   D   C- D- Em   G  C  
But he's my mistake to make, all ni-----------ight
[Outro]
COh-oh-oh-o-oh-Doh-oh-oh
He's Cmy mistake to Dmake all Gnight
