first verse
F
memories and drinks don’t mix too well .
A# A# A G# G G7
jukebox records don’t play those wedding bells .
C7
lookin’ at the world through the bottom of a glass ,
F C7
all i see is a man who’s fading fast .
second verse
F
tonight i need that woman again .
A# A# A G# G G7
what i’d give for my baby to just walk in .
C7
sit down beside me and say : “it’s alright .
F C7
take me home and make sweet love to me tonight .
chorus
F [ ch ] F7/A [ /Ch ] A# Gm7
but here i Am again , mixin’ misery and gin .
C9 C13 F
sittin’ with all my friends and talkin’ to myself .
A# A7sus A7 Dm Dm/C Bm7b5

F
i light a lonely womans cigarette ,
