Well if you
D             Bm               Em7
live in dusty twilight baby
       Asus4
that's OK      'Cause there are
D            Bm                Em7
women at the bar to greet you
Asus4    D2    A/C#
everyday

And you can
Bm                G
take them back to lie with you and
D
visit Jamie's room,  but they can
Bm             G
never take the pain away
   D
or brighten all the gloom

And if your
Bm                      G
hands are cleansed with sorrow
       D                  Bm
May it help you ease your pain
           Em7            D/F#       Asus4
Though the windows have a view of city rain
     Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
city rain

           D                Bm       Em7
And if you walk in constant sorrow
                 Asus4
And you cry for me
       D               Bm            Em7
May it hit the painful memories
           Asus4        D2  A/C#
Maybe then you'll see
            Bm                G
That if you drown yourself in liquor
           D
Because it keeps you company
          Bm                  G
Then just remember who you're losing
        D
And be proud to set me free
            Bm                G
Because it don't talk back or disagree
        D               Bm
It just makes you see so hazily
           Em7                 D/F#
But in the morning light your life is
                   Asus4
scattered with the wind
                  Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
Scattered with the wind

           D                Bm       Em7
Well they tell you on the telephone

to let him go
           D               Bm
I said they tell you he's a sinking ship
            Em7              Asus2 Dsus4
And he's trying to pull you down
A/C#
Don't you know

           Bm                 G
That every time you call me up
                        D
and say you want me back, You know you break my heart
              Bm                            G
You said you want me to come back home and try again
              D
You want me to make a brand new start
       Bm             G
But if wisdom says to let him go
          D                 Bm
Then it's hell, because you just don't know
             Em7            D/F#              Asus4
Until you've tried to love a man who's loving whiskey,
       Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
loving whiskey
        Bm              G
My baby left me for the bottle
        D
And the lure of the nightlife
     Bm              G
Good times and crazy women
            D
And another glass of Tanqueray
       Bm             G
But if wisdom says to let him go
          D                 Bm
Then it's hell, because you just don't know
             Em7            D/F#              Asus4
Until you've tried to love a man who's loving whiskey,
       Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
loving whiskey
