[Intro] G#

Em
Don’t know how she deals with her conscious
C             G  
Knowing she’s slowly killing a man
Em
The bottle’s got my fingerprints on it
C                      G
But she’s still got my blood on my hands
Em
Even if she don’t know
C          G
She is the reason I’m here
Am
Looking for the stronger stuff

Bartender fill my cup

[Estribillo]

C                   G
Trying to keep hope alive
    D                    Em
And keep the fire going inside
C               G
Sippin’ this kerosene
D                       G
Until she comes back to me

[Segunda Parte] G

Em                          
Yeah, we had a love like a candle
C      G
But I blew out the flame
Em
I could be a hard one to handle
C     G       
Idiot wind is a hurricane, baby
Em     
Even if she don’t know
C       G
She is the reason I’ll be right here
Am
'Til closing time

Drinking it until I’m blind

[Estribillo]

C                   G
Trying to keep hope alive
    D                    Em
And keep the fire going inside
C               G
Sippin’ this kerosene
D                       G
Until she comes back to me
             C               G
It burned my tongue a little at first
        D                    Em
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
C                    G
Now it’s my favorite drink
      D                  Em    
The poison taste good to me
   C                    G
So won’t you bartender please
D                   G    Em D
Pour a another kerosene

D                     B
I’m never letting go
C                           Em  D
Never letting go of what we had
                  B         C     Em D
Oh you know it’s burning my mind
                B            C                    Am
Looking for my hope in the bottom of a shot glass
