[Intro]
GGone, guess that Dgood old feeling's Emgone
Shoulda known that you were Cwrong for me
Wrong for me, Gwrong
[Chorus]
GNow that I'm sober my Dtemperature's a little Emcolder
I see it Dclearly now, I only fCell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and Gbroken
I hate being Gsober
My hands are Dshaking and the nights are Emlonely
I put my body and my soul through Chell for you
Why does it hurt that it's Gover?
[Verse 1]
IG've been drunk for three years and fifteen daysEm  
Off that perfume that you weCar
And that good look on your fGace
I iGgnored all my worst fears
And now this Bmliquor won't Emchase
The thought of Cyou from my head
My mouth still stings from the Gtaste of it
[Chorus]
Now that I'm Gsober my temperature's a little Emcolder
I see it Dclearly now, I only Cfell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and Gbroken
I hate being Gsober
My hands are shaking and the nights are Emlonely
I put my body and my soul through Chell for you
Why does it hurt that it's Gover?
[Verse 2]
GDon't know why I'm still crying
It's not like Byou're wide awEmake
Why am I tossing back wChiskey?
I should be popping champGagne
And I would swallow my pride 'cause I know what I gave
EmWhy should I Dpoison Cmyself to try and fix your Gmistakes?
[Chorus]
Now that I'm Gsober my Dtemperature's a little Emcolder
I see it Dclearly now, I only Cfell for you
'Cause I was young, dumb and Gbroken
I hate being sGober
My hands are shaking and the nights are Emlonely
I put my Dbody and my soul through Chell for you
Why does it hurt that it's Gover?
