      D        Bm            Em Em7/A

Well if you live in dusty twilight baby, that's OK, 
                 D           Bm               Em  Em7/A  G/D A/D
'Cause there are women at the bar to greet you everyday. 
             Bm                G                D
And you can take them back to lie with you and visit Jamie's room, 
             Bm             G            D
But they can never take the pain away or brighten all the gloom, 
             Bm                    G              D
And if your hands are clenched in sorrow, may it help you ease your pain, 
           Em           Em/F#      Em7/A           Dm     D
Though the windows have a view of city rain, city rain... 
 
 
            D        Bm      Em    Em7/A
And if you walk in constant sorrow and you cry for me, 
        D       Bm       Em   Em7/A  G/D A/D
May it hit the painful memories, maybe then you'll see, 
             Bm                 G                 D
That if you drown yourself in liquor, because it keeps you company, 
           Bm                G                D
Then just remember who you're loosing, and be proud to set me free, 
                       Bm                     G               D
Because it don't talk back or disagree, it just make you see so hazily, 
            Em                          Em/F#           Em7/A                      Dm     D
But in the morning light your life is scattered with the wind, scattered with the wind... 
 
            D      Bm      Em   Em7/A
Well they tell you on the telephone to let him go, 
             D       Bm          Em         Em7/A   G/D  A/D
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship, and he's trying to pull you down, Don' t you know. 
                   
 
            Bm               G                              D
That every time you call me up and say you want me back you know you break my heart, 
           Bm              G                               D
You said you want me to come back home and try again, you want me to make a brand new start, 
            Bm                G                                    D
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know, 
            Em                Em/F#          Em7/A              Dm       D
Until you've tried to love a man who's lovin' whiskey, lovin' whiskey...

         Bm             G               D
My baby left me for the bottle and the lure of the nightlife, 
     Bm               G           D
Good times and crazy women and another glass of Tangueray, 
        Bm             G                      D
But if wisdom says to let him go, then it's hell, because you just don't know, 
           Em           Em/F#                Em7/A              Dm   D
