[Intro]
D   G   D   G
[Verse 1]
I've been Dthinking of the words I used to say when I was Gdrinking
Seems like it's only yesterday when I Dwas heartache
I didn't mean to treat you bad, but I was Gsuffering from self-pity that I had
And I was Emtired and I Acouldn't stand the pain
I couldn't put Gthat bottle downA  
'Cause it was easier Dthat wayG  
[Verse 2]
Now, I don't Dwanna be the same man I was back then
'Cause I don't Gunderstand all those selfish little plans
And when I look into my Emfather’s eyes
I see a Atorn and desperate man who couldn't put tGhat bottle downA  
'Cause it was easier Dthat wayG  
'Cause it was easier Dthat way
[Chorus]
I guess it's Gtorture singing songs about the Aman I used to be
I wonder Gif you sometimes see that maAn inside of me
But I Dpromise, I won't go back to way back then
'Cause I got Gtired of that selfish little man
But I'm Emtrying and I Ahope you understand that it's hard to Gput that bottle downA  
But it's easier Dthat wayG  
But it's easier Dthat wayG  
[Solo]
D   G   D   G
[Chorus]
I guess it's Gtorture singing songs about the Aman I used to be
I wonder Gif you sometimes see that man Ainside of me
But I Dpromise, I won't go back to way back then
'Cause I Ggot tired of that selfish little man
But I'm Emtrying and I Ahope you understand that it's hard to put Gthat bottle downA  
But it's easier Dthat wayG  
But it's easier Dthat wayG  
But it's eAasier that wayD
