G 
Well I've done some things 
              Em 
That I can't undo 
              C 
I took your trust 
                 D 
And I tore it in two 
G                                            Em 
No man in his right mind could've said it's over 
          C          D         
Still, I told you goodbye completely sober 


[CHORUS:]
Em            C           D 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
              Em 
And blame the bottle 
         C                  D 
But I've never been one to booze 
Em        C                D 
Lord only knows what I was thinkin' 
                          C 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
         D                    G 
But even that's just a fool's excuse 


Well, my mom knows 
Her baby boy knows better 
So it's gonna break her heart 
To hear we're not together 
She's always said she cares so much for you 
So what is she gonna say 
About the hell I've put you through 


[CHORUS:]
Em            C           D 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
              Em 
And blame the bottle 
         C                  D 
But I've never been one to booze 
Em        C                D 
Lord only knows what I was thinkin' 
                          C 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
         D                    G 
But even that's just a fool's excuse


[BRIDGE:]
Em                              G 
Even Tennessee whiskey couldn't wash away the pain 
C 
Watered down with tear drops 
     D 
Over light Kentucky rain 


[CHORUS:]
Em            C           D 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
              Em 
And blame the bottle 
         C                  D 
But I've never been one to booze 
Em        C                D 
Lord only knows what I was thinkin' 
                          C 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
         D                    G 
But even that's just a fool's excuse


[CHORUS:]
Em            C           D 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
              Em 
And blame the bottle 
         C                  D 
But I've never been one to booze 
Em        C                D 
Lord only knows what I was thinkin' 
                          C 
Wish I could say I'd been drinkin' 
         D                    G 
But even that's just a fool's excuse
