Intro - D - A - D - A 
 
 
(verse 1) 
    D   
I'm down and out on the border, 
          A 
She's in love up in Dallas, 
 D                            G 
She say's it's over I'm still thinkin' about us, 
    D                                          A 
Well I'm on the run with a heartache hot on my heels, 
   D                             A 
So I'm stirring up feelings like booze in a blender, 
     D                    G 
And pouring my heart out to love her tender, 
     D                       A                    D -  A 
Well out on the border while she holds another tonight, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
                 D                     A  
And I'm pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions, 
  D                    G  
Drowning my sorrow by cryin an ocean, 
  D                                   A - G - A 
Should I stoop to beg or just let her go, 
         D                      A           
I'm in a sea of confusion and I can't swim, 
     D                          G 
One minute I'm fumin then I'm crying again, 
         D                     A                 D - A - D - A 
Pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions tonight, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
   D                A  
A shaker of salt, a quarter of lime 
         D                    G  
Turning three finger shooters a one at a time 
  D                                       A  
Chased by a memory tonight that I can't escape 
            D                 A  
I'm down to my last buck and my last swallow 
     D                         G  
And just my luck Hey there's a worm in my bottle 
         D                A                      D  - A 
But it's my last shot so here's to love on the rocks, 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
                 D                     A  
And I'm pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions, 
  D                    G  
Drowning my sorrow by cryin' an ocean, 
   D                                  A - G - A 
Should I stoop to beg or just let her go, 
         D                      A           
I'm in a sea of confusion and I can't swim, 
     D                          G 
One minute I'm fumin' then I'm crying again, 
         D                     A              D 
Pouring straight tequila over mixed emotions tonight, 
    G             D  
And I'm pouring straight tequila, 
      A                D - A - D - A 
over mixed emotions tonight,
