D A D Cadd9 G/B A D
[Verse]
D Bm
He sits all alone in his easy chair
D A7 D
Staring back on his lost yesterdays
D Bm
Long before he encountered the bottle
D A7 D
And the demons that drove her away
[Verse]
D Bm
In his hand he is holding her photograph
D A7 D
Her image all tear-stained and worn
D Bm
Tonight he's embracing reality
D A7 D
And he curses the day he was born
[Chorus]
G D
And the darkness still echoes her warning
G D Bm
You can't have two loves in your life
D
Now the things that will haunt him
D Em D/F# G D G
Until the day that he dies
D
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
A7 D
And the sound of goodbye
[Instrumental]
D D Em D/F# G D G

[Verse]
D Bm
Since the hour that she left he's been sober
D A7 D
And each breath that he draws makes him think
D Bm
About the light of his life gone forever
D A7 D
When he traded her love for a drink
[Chorus]
G D
And the darkness still echoes her warning
G D Bm
You can't have two loves in your life
D
Now the things that will haunt him
D Em D/F# G D G
Until the day that he dies
D
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
A7 Bm A/C# G
And the sound of goodbye
D
The smell of cheap whiskey
A7 N.C.
And the sound of goodbye
