Whiskey Straight Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The moonlight is [C]shining [G]down
Through the [C]factories on
the shipyard [G]wa ters
And in a [C]winter midnight
Side[G]ways moon [Em]sets
On the [G]memory of [D]what's gone missing
[G]

[Verse 2]
The sidewalk stares [C]up [G]silent
I'm just a [C]shadow slowly disappearing
[G]A gho[C]st of something real
that [G]used to exist
[Em]A memo[G]ry of what[D]'s
gone miss[G]ing

[Verse 3]
[Em]Why do you keep runn[D]ing?
The [C]pace [G]is hurried but
you're [C]never [G]closer[D]
To [Em]what it was you [C]thought [G]you wanted
It [C]all keeps chan[Em]ging,
[C]now something [D]else is miss[G]ing[Em][A][D]
Who knows where?
[G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]I knew our [C]time was running [G]out
So by the [C]kitchen window
back at [G]your house
I [C]ended up wasted on
[G]whiskey [Em]straight
And filled [G]the ashtray up
[D]with your secret[G]s

[Verse 5]
You were [G]an anchor [C]with high
[G]cheekbones
I was a [C]soldier with broken finger[G]s
You [C]ended up wasted on
[G]cheap champagne
[Em]Celebratin[G]g
[D]everything that's missing
[G][Em]

[Verse 6]
Why do you keep run[D]ning
The [C]pace is hur[G]ried but
you're [C]never [G]closer[D]
To [Em]what it was you [C]thought [G]you wanted
It [C]all keeps chan[Em]ging and [C]now
[G]something [D]else is missing
[G][Em][A]

[Verse 7]
[C]Fam[D]iliar[C] mad[G]ness
It [C]all keeps chan[Em]ging and [C]now
something [D]else is miss[G]ing
[Em]Hey, yeah

[Outro 1]
