[Intro]
Em      C   D
Em      C   D
[Verse 1]
N.C.              Em  
No, I'm not goin' crazy, but lately my head and my heart
Seem to Cbe at least a million Dmiles apart
My Emheart says to love ya, my head says to run
It's like my Cheart is too afraid to tell my Dhead what it's done
I Emknow that it can never be the way it was
Even Cthough you'll be the death of me DI can't give you up
Too Emmuch is not enough; it's not the love, it's not the lust that Cgrips meD  
N.C.           Em  
It must be the whiskey
[Chorus 1]
I've been Gdrinkin' to remember and Ddrinkin' to forget
I got "I Amlove you" on my mind, I got CJim Beam on my breath
And loneliGness has got the rest, DI've got nothin' left withAmin me
It must be the EmwhiskeyC  D  
[Verse 2]
N.C.              Em  
No, I'm not goin' crazy, but lately these thoughts in my head
Are a Cwhirlwind of a world of a Dmillion regrets
All the Emthings I should've done, all the things I should've said
All the Cpain that comes with hatin' the mess youD've made of yourself
I Emknow I'm chasin' rainbows thinkin' I could make it work
But the Cfact is that my actions speak Dlouder than my words
And it Emonly makes it worse thinkin' of her, thinkin' she'll forCgive meD  
N.C.           Em  
It must be the whiskey
[Chorus 2]
I've been Gdrinkin' to remember and Ddrinkin' to forget
I got "I Amlove you" on my mind, I got CJim Beam on my breath
And loneliGness has got the rest, DI've got nothin' left withAmin me
It must be the Emwhiskey

I've been Gdrinkin' to remember and Ddrinkin' to forget
I got "I Amlove you" on my mind, I got CJim Beam on my breath
And Gloneliness has got the rest, DI've got nothin' left withAmin me
Sometimes it Chits me whenever I'm a little Dtipsy
Oh, it Amhits me whenever I'm a little CtipsyD

No, I'm not goin' crazy, but lately these thoughts in my head

C D

Are a whirlwind of a world of a million regrets

All the things I should've done, all the things I should've said

C D

All the pain that comes with hatin' the mess you've made of yourself

I know I'm chasin' rainbows thinkin' I could make it work

C D

But the fact is that my actions speak louder than my words

Em C D

And it only makes it worse thinkin' of her, thinkin' she'll forgive me

N.C.

It must be the whiskey

I've been drinkin' to remember and drinkin' to forget
