INTRO: D  Em  G  A  4x

VERSE I:
D      Em              G      A
Momma cried when you left me
D           Em             G     A
Know she's always loved you so
D             Em   G                A
She said "Hey fool what the hell did you do?"
             D              Em               G        A
I said "Now mom I swear to God I just don't know"
D             Em            G     A
Picture book sittin on the table
D               Em                     G    A
Memories we've stacked up through the years
      D                      Em               G       A
But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages
     G             D/F#
Cuz your the kinda gone
           Em           A         D
Who ain't never coming back home again


CHORUS I:
G                      A             D
And tonight all the dancehalls are empty
G         A            D
No young lovers on the floor
G       D/F#               Em
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
A                                    D
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

VERSE II:
    D         Em                  G       A
And I don't know why you had to leave me
D             Em                   G          A
All I really know is that you are gone, long gone
D                Em              G     A
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
D                Em             G    A
You're the only life I've ever known
    D             Em                G     A
And I guess you heard the highway calling
D                            Em          G             A
Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast
D         Em                   G    A
I had to fight the urge to follow
                G           D/F#    Em                A           D
I guess some time away from me is all you've ever really needed most


CHORUS II
       G                    A                  D
And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
G                        A           D
And I don't think I can take it anymore
G       D/F#              Em
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
A                                    D
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

VERSE III:
D           Em                  G        A
Late night phone call from the East Coast
D               Em
Said she had enough
        G             A
She's coming on back home
D          Em                 G        A
Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile
G                   D/F#
If she leaves right now
Em                   A              D
Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn


CHORUS III:
      G                     A                   D
And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
G                  A          D
Tomorrow will be like it was before
G       D/F#         Em
So I'll put away my whiskey
A                             D
Guess I just don't need it anymore
G        D/F#          Em
Yeah I'll put away my whiskey
G                    A        D
Guess I just don't need it anymore
