*Listen to the song, he plays a lot of fill in hammer-ons between chords
[Chorus]
GIf whiskey could Ctalk, Dit'd say I'm a great Gguy
GOr at least it ought Dto, Cfor as much as I Gbuy
GBut it's money well Cspent Djust to help me feel Gfree
GFrom the pain she Dcreates Cwhen she's cheating on Gme
[Verse 1]
GWell she's at it Dagain, Cliving high on the sGtreets
GSo I reach for the boDttle Cjust to help me to Gsleep
GAnd I lay here in Cbed Dand dream of a Gtime
GWhen she was Dcontent Cwith being all Gmine
[Chorus]
GIf whiskey could Ctalk, Dit'd say I'm a great Gguy
GOr at least it ought Dto, Cfor as much as I Gbuy
GBut it's money well Cspent Djust to help me feel Gfree
GFrom the pain she Dcreates Cwhen she's cheating on Gme
[Verse 2]
GShe'll come back to Dme Cwhen the lights have gone Gdown
GAnd she's ran out of Dmen Cto buy her a Ground
GBut she dreads coming Chome Dto that drunk in her Gbed
GWho's living Dalone Changing on by a Gthread
[Chorus]
GIf whiskey could Ctalk, Dit'd say I'm a great Gguy
GOr at least it ought Dto, Cfor as much as I Gbuy
GBut it's money well Cspent Djust to help me feel Gfree
GFrom the pain she Dcreates Cwhen she's cheating on Gme
