D G 

[Verse]
G                                                               D 
Tried to close my eyes so I can make this big ol' world just disappear
                                C
The lining ain't so silver over here
              G     D 
That much is clear
G                                                                 D 
I wish the pain and heartache that I feel inside would up and go away
                              C
Things would be so different today
             G 
Or so they've said

[Chorus]
 D                                C              G 
Well, I could be a pilot and I'd fly around for free
 D                                       C            G 
Well, I could run for President and get called out on TV
                                                             C
When I drink enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see
 G                                    D             G 
When the party's over, there ain't nothin' left but me

[Verse]
G                                                              D 
I wake up just as empty as the bottle that I drank the night before
                                    C
My head feels just as heavy as the pour
              G 
Ah, just one more
                                                               C       D 
I guess what I was thinkin' was somehow I could just drink you off my mind
                                   C
I guess in this case ignorance is gone
              G 
Or I'm just blind

[Chorus]
 D                                C            G 
I just get so lonely with the passing of the time
        D                              C              G 
This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines
                                                             C
Cut through a glass of Tito's, man, this world's a sight to see
         G                                D                G   C G  D  G 
Oh, but when the party's over there ain't nothin' left but me

[Chorus]
 D                                C            G 
I just get so lonely with the passing of the time
        D                              C              G 
This highway just gets longer, keepin' it between the lines
                                                              C
When I drank enough Jack Daniels, I play the fool for all to see
      G                                        D              G 
Yeah, but when the party's over, there ain't nothin' left but me
 C                G               D               G 
When the party's over there ain't no one left but me
