[Intro]
  Dm    G   F-  F/E-  F/D- C  
[Verse 1]
I didn't come in here to Gdance,
And I don't plan to have a Cgood time,
So honey just top off this Gglass,
And take this pocket full of Amdimes,
And go wake up that old FJuke Box,G  
                     Am-  Am7/G- Dm  
Then just leave me alone,
I've got a past to put beFhind,
So keep one thing in Gmind,
                                F-  F/E-  F/D-  C  
When you're pickin' out them songs
[Chorus]
Play me something I can Fdrink to,
Something I can sit and Cthink to,
A song bout nothing left to Dmlose,
From someone who's been in my Fshoes,
And play it loud enough to Gdrown out all the hell I'm goin' through,
Make it something I can Fcry to,
                       Am-  Am7/G- Dm  
A tune her memory can die to,      
I've got a table in the Fdark,
A bottle and a broken Gheart,
                            F-  F/E-  F/D- C  
Play me something I can drink to
[Verse 2]
I've got everything I Gneed,
To get me where I'm gCoin,
And when I get there I'll be Gfree,
If only for tAmonight,
As long as that steel guitar is Fplayin,G  
                      Am-  Am7/G-                        Dm  
She'll be goin', goin', gone,
Well I've got a ghost to Fkill,
And I know this whiskey Gwill,
                             F-  F/E-  F/D-               C  
With some help from Hank and Jones
[Chorus]
[Outro]
I've got nowhere else to Fgo,
So keep 'em comin' sad and Gslow,
                            F   F/E-  F/D-          C
