[Verse 1]
C
I finally quit smoking cigarettes
C Am
And I don’t go downtown drinking till it’s dawn
G C
The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone
C
And lord I’ve been trying to smile like you told me
C Am
Laugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong
G C
The best parts of you are here but you’re still gone
C
And I still tie that double knot
C Am
The one you taught that gets caught on the banks
G C
The best parts of you are here but you still ain’t

Am
I heard your father got sick of Long Island
G
I’ve been trying like hell to call
C F
My mind aint well and I just can’t tell you why
Am
I heard they shut the old bar
G
We’d go to when we needed rest
C F
We’d always stay out too late Tuesday nights
[Verse 2]
Am
You said I was the perfect gentleman
G
You used to hold me by my gentle hands
C F
These ain’t the hopefuls hands you held before
Am
And I’ve been drinking so much lately
G
It seems a damn double blade
C F
Cuz when I’m drunk I dream you’re dancing down the shore
