[Intro]

[Verse]

    F                 C
You know it's getting late and I can't
F                 C
Stand the pain of waiting
F                  C                  G
Darling, won't you please pick up the phone?
  F              C
I know he's been treating you good
    F              C
You know damn well that I could
    F                 C         G
I'm begging you don't leave me alone
 
[Chorus]
        Em7
But I'm riding here with sorrow
        F
And you won't see me tomorrow
    C                         
The bottle that I'm drinking is 
          G
just that strong
Em7
Just turn on your porchlight
    F
And tell me it'll be alright
C                              G
'Cause I'm tired of being wrong
 
[Verse]

         F
Well you know that 

I've been sober
        C
Since a year ago October
          F                    
But right now I just can't take 
             G
what's in my head
C                      
Trying to remember what 
  F              C
I did to win you over
F           C                G
Trying to recall just what I said
          F                 
And if it don't come back to 
        Fm
me by tomorrow
                     C  F  C  F
Darlin' I'll be dead
 
[Chorus]

F                 C
I've been looking all around
     F                 C
This cold hard rain is comin' down
     F               
This bottle's getting 
C                 G
lighter by the drop
F            C
I just wanna see your face
    F                C
And take you to that special place
F              C   
Back along the lane 
                 G
where we used to stop
 
[Chorus]

        Em7
But I'm riding here with sorrow
          F
And there won't be no tomorrow
C                 
Girl, you know that 
                  G
I just ain't that strong
    Em7
I'm staring into headlights
F
Praying for just one more night
       C                       G
'Cause what I'm doing might be wrong
 
[Verse]

         F
Well you know that I've been sober
        C
Since a year ago October
          F                    
But right now I just can't take 
             G
what's in my head
C                           F   
Hoping you remember what we went 
               C
through last December
     F               C   
I'll love you 'til I die, 
                G
that's what you said
           F                 
And if you don't come back to 
        Fm
me by tomorrow

                     C  F  C  F
Darlin' I'll be dead
