[Intro]
C Dm Am F C
[Verse 1]
CYou said no matter what that you'd be hoAmnest
You said, "Now Fdarling, I'll take care of yCou"
CBut last night when you bDmroke another prAmomise
FI started to question what the trCuth is
[Pre-Chorus 1]
CWake up in the morning
AmSomething's different in this lFight
It's like eDmverything is perfect
You dCon't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing Amis
I don't wanna have this fFight
You're saying that it's not that
You say that every time
[Chorus]
So dCon't blame the liAmquor
For the thFings you say that you don't meCan
The smCall things, get biAmgger
You're pFoking holes in you and Cme
[Verse 2]
CI know that you've gEmot the best inteAmntions
FI know that you Dmmean the things you sCay
CBut forever isn't soDmmething you should mAmention
If you keep maFking all the same mCistakes
[Pre-Chorus 2]
CWake up in the morning
AmSomething's different in this liFght
It's like everything is pDmerfect
You doCn't know what you did last night
Oh, you know the worst thing Amis
I can see how hard you tFry
You don't wanna hurt me
But that doesn't make it right
[Chorus]
So doCn't blame the liAmquor
For the tFhings you say that you don't meCan
The sCmall things, get bAmigger
You're pFoking holes in you and Cme
[Bridge]
And oGoh, I swear you cAmhange me
You're upFset
And do things I can't fGorget
But, darling, Amsomething's got to chaFnge
Before iGt's too late
GYou could paint a picture of
Put your heart in every line
GBut the things that we just miss out
CDoing damage over time
CDon't wanna wake up one day and
AmWonder why I just stood by
FKept it on the inside
No, sComething wasn't right
Am
[Chorus]
So doCn't blame the lAmiquor
For the thiFngs you say that you don't mCean
The Csmall things, get bAmigger
You're poFking holes in you and mCe
[Outro]
CYou're poking holes, you're poAmking holes
You're pokFing holes in you and mCe
You're poCking holes, you're pAmoking holes
You're poFking holes in you and Cme

You said, "Now darling, I'll take care of you"

C Dm Am

But last night when you broke another promise

F C

I started to question what the truth is

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Wake up in the morning

Am F

Something's different in this light

It's like everything is perfect

You don't know what you did last night

Oh, you know the worst thing is

I don't wanna have this fight

You're saying that it's not that

You say that every time

[Chorus]

C Am

So don't blame the liquor

F C

For the things you say that you don't mean

The small things, get bigger

You're poking holes in you and me

[Verse 2]

C Em Am

I know that you've got the best intentions

F Dm C

I know that you mean the things you say

C Dm Am

But forever isn't something you should mention

F C

If you keep making all the same mistakes

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Wake up in the morning

Am F

Something's different in this light

It's like everything is perfect

You don't know what you did last night

Oh, you know the worst thing is

I can see how hard you try

You don't wanna hurt me

But that doesn't make it right

And ooh, I swear you change me

You're upset

And do things I can't forget

Am F

But, darling, something's got to change

Before it's too late

You could paint a picture of

Put your heart in every line

But the things that we just miss out

Doing damage over time

Don't wanna wake up one day and

Wonder why I just stood by

Kept it on the inside

No, something wasn't right

[Chorus]

C Am

So don't blame the liquor

F C

For the things you say that you don't mean

C Am

The small things, get bigger

F C

You're poking holes in you and me

You're poking holes, you're poking holes
