🎶 Whiskey Doesn't Work

Capo 1


[C]Used to I could shake a goodbye [Am]On a bar stool on a long night
[F]I could have the leaving gone [G]By the time the lights came on
[C]But here I am rounding round four [Am]And only wanting you more
[F]Stirring up ice in an empty cup is just [G]stirring up memories of us
Like [F]lightening striking under neon signs [G]Usually by now I feel fine…

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt
The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby
[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown
I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work

[C]Guess I shouldn't be so sur[Am]prised That even through blood shot eyes
[F]That picture of you in the dresser drawer Is [G]just as beautiful as before
[F]It must be late, they're clearing out [G]Usually I'm good and numb by now

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt
The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby
[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown
I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work

Like [F]lightening striking under neon signs [G]I'm a lot of things but I'm not fine

[C]But this time whiskey doesn't [Am]work And the burn can't hide the [F]hurt
The more I drink the more I [G]think About you baby
[C]And the high just let's me [Am]down And the miss you doesn't [F]drown
I'm just making a bad thing [G]worse Cause whiskey doesn't [C]work
