[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em]
[C][D]

[Verse 1]
Well I've done some [G]things
that I can't un[Em]do
I took your [C]trust and I [G]tore it [C]in [D]to
No man in [G]his right mind would
have said it's [Em]over
Still [C]I told you goodb[D]ye
completely [G]sober

[Verse 2]
[G]I w[Em]ish I could[C] say
I'd been [D]drinking
And blame the [Em]bottle but I've nev
[C]er been one to [D]booze[Em]
Lord only [C]knows what I was [D]thinking
Wish I could say I'd been [C]drinking
Even [D]that's just a fool's excuse
[G]

[Verse 3]
My mama knows her baby
boy knows [Em]better
It's gonna [C]break her heart to
hear we're not [D]together
She's always [G]said she
cares so much for [Em]you
So what is she gonna [C]say about
the [D]hell I've put you through
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]I wish I could say[C] I'd been dr[D]inking
And blame [Em]the bottle but I've nev
[C]er been one to [D]booze[Em]
Lord only [C]knows what I was [D]thinking
Wish I could say I'd been [C]drinking
Even [D]that's just a fool's excuse
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C]
[D][G][Em][C][D]
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
Even Tennessee [Em]whiskey
couldn't [G]wash away [C]the pain
Watered down with teardrops
over [D]light Kentucky rain

[Verse 6]
[Em]I wish I could say[C] I'd been dr[D]inking
And blame [Em]the bottle but I've nev
[C]er been one to [D]booze[Em]
Lord only [C]knows what I was [D]thinking
Wish I could say I'd been [C]drinking
Even [D]that's just a fool's excuse

[Verse 7]
[G]I w[D]ish[G] I [Em]could
[C]say I'd been [D]drinking
And blame the [Em]bottle but I've nev
[C]er been one to [D]booze[Em]
Lord only [C]knows what I was [D]thinking
Wish I could say I'd been [C]drinking
Even [D]that's just a fool's ex
[G]cuse

[Outro 1]
[G][D][G][Em][C][D]
