B          E   C

[Verse]
B                                         E         C
Another day of deflating your face into tears
B                                                 E
I shook your mood with the game and a bottle of beer
    C          B                    D             A           E
The day I fell off of the wagon you threw up your hands in disgust
       G            F#               B
Once again you just get the best of me

E   C

B                                                    E         C
Remember you loved to be held, how you loved to be touched
B                                                    E
And anxiously laughed at my jokes just a little too much
     C          B                      D                A            E
When I was so careful of cursing while you were still nursing your beer
G                       F#
Now it's a shame but I know


[Chorus]
B                                  D          E
that there's really no use for a brand new convertible
B                           D            E
A mile to your parents', a mile to the store
B                       D          E      A                      B           E     C
Turn in our bottles for 10 cent deposits I'll drink us two dollars more


[Verse]
B                                            E      C
I don't recall anyone placing a gun to our heads
B                                                 E      C
We traded a trip 'round the world for a family instead
B                                   D               A          E
Our friend's were dispersing while you were still nursing our boy
       G              F#
And I knew things had changed

B                                                             A        C
When the pet names that you once gave me we soon gave to the pets
              B                       A          G
But I still come when you call them just to be sure


[Chorus]
B                                 D           E
Now there's really no use for a neighborhood cheerleader
B                       D          E
A block party president mowing his lawn
B                             D            E         A
Whose cabinet is empty with a mind full of nicotine fits
                      E
God I can't make you love me
      A   E                            B
Cause I don't have the strength anymore


[Outro]
B           E   C
(repeat until song ends)
