Am  Am

[Verse 1]

Am                              (walk bass note up to C)
When I get to thinking 'bout where I'm from
        C
I start drinking hard, and talking fast and coming undone
        Dm          F
And the worst is, I know you feel this
    Am
You might be the only one

[Verse 2]

Am
First one down through second last
        C
Got the whole crowd laughing, reel and cast
       Dm            F
By the last one, I'm far from done
      Am                   F
We're moving down hard and fast

[Pre-Chorus]

Am        C    Am                 (walk)   C
Bu-uu-uut I'll come back this way and I'll marry you someday
        F                   Am    E7       F              Am
If you promise that you'll never ask me to put the bottle away

|Am C| |D G|

[Verse 3]

Am
There's a kitchen window in my mind
        C
And my pretty glass bottles all in a line
      Dm                 F
When all I've found when I turn around
    Am
Is that man on the floor

[Verse 4]

Am
I got a mare, I got a foal
C
What will you do when my body goes cold
         Dm                F
Did you warn me, will you scorn me
Am                  F
Wish I'd never been born

[Chorus]

Am      C     Am                  (walk)   C
Bu-uu-uut I'll come back this way and I'll marry you someday
        F                   Am    E7       F              Am
If you promise that you'll never ask me to put the bottle away

[Interlude]
|Am C| |D G|

[Chorus]
Am        C     Am                 (walk)  C
Bu-uu-uut I'll come back this way and I'll marry you someday
        F                   Am    E       Am              Am
If you promise that you'll never ask me to put the bottle away

[Bridge]

G     C             Em   G
It's hard to see so honestly
      Dm        F             Am
But I know you got it bad like me
E             Am
That wrecking need

        F                   Am    E        F              Am
If you promise that you'll never ask me to put the bottle away
C     Am                (walk)   C
I'll come back this way and I'll marry you someday

[Verse 5]

Am
I spit poison at all you bad boys and
C
God knows by now I got plenty good reasons
   Dm    E F                 Am                       F (let ring)
To keep on holding the wrong side of the knife in my hand
