[Verse 1]
There's a Dnaked light bulb hangin' ove my head.
Nothin' but a shadow on your side of the bed.
I been Gtalkin' to the walls but we're running out of things to Dsay.
[Verse 2]
I don't Dwanna toss and turn another night.
I need a crowd of people, some neon light.
GSmoke so thick you choke, jokes but there hard to Dtake.
[Pre-Chorus]
It Aain't no laughin' matter,
I'll do Ganything to shake the Dache.
[Chorus]
When I Gsaid goodbye to Dyou,
I broke Gmy own heart in Atwo.
[Verse 3]
DAll I really need to start a new romance,
is tequila and a pretty girl that likes to dance.
And let the Ggood times roll, but I know I'd hit the Dbrake.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Just as Asoon as we get rollin'
Cause I Gjust can't shake the Dache.
[Solo]
D  D   G   D  G  A
[Verse 4]
I Dopened up the wound and I threw on the salt.
Tried to make you think it was all your fault.
GSorry that I hurt you, the pain is more than I can Dtake.
[Verse 5]
Now the Dclock is tickin' to loud, the foset drips.
On this love foresaken shell of a sinkin' ship.
It's Ggoing down in the middle of a big Dmistake.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I been Aswimmin' round in circles
and I Gjust can't shake the Dache.
[Chorus 2]
When I Gsaid goodbye to Dyou,
I broke Gmy own heart in Atwo.
[Outro]
Now there's Gnothing I can Ddo.
I Alove ya and I need ya
and I Gjust can't shake,
ALife's no good without ya girl
I Gjust can't make it.
ASorry that I hurt you
And I Gjust can't shake the ache.D
