[G] [C] [D] [G] [G] [C] [D] [G]
Honey, [G]how’s that drink [C]going down, seems a little [D]stiff for 2 [G]P.M
[G]Holler if you [C]need anything, I’ve [D]got an ear to [G]lend
[C]I’ll be right here [D]cutting limes, counting [G]cash and [D]stocking [Em]beers
I’ve [C]got an idea what’s [D]on your mind, so in the [G]meantime, think on this


I’ve seen [C]girls like you [G]in here before, watched [C]broken hearts [G]break
Though that door a [D]time or two, and [C]I’ll bet he packed [G]all his things
You [C]set out to [G]curse his name and [D]have a few
And [C]I’ll bet you’re doing your [G]best to move [D]on
Well, you’re not the [C]only [D]lonely [G]one


[G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]This ain’t my first [C]rodeo, I’ve seen the [D]other side of this [G]bar
Pouring [G]salts on an [C]open wound, sitting [D]right there where you [G]are
And [C]I know it probably [D]stings right now, somehow [G]more than [D]that Jim [Em]Beam
But that [C]clock on the wall [D]will cure it all, even though that [G]ain’t how it seems


I’ve seen [C]girls like you [G]in here before, watched [C]broken hearts [G]break
Though that door a [D]time or two, and [C]I’ll bet he packed [G]all his things
You [C]set out to [G]curse his name and [D]have a few
And [C]I’ll bet you’re doing your [G]best to move [D]on
Well, you’re not the [C]only [D]lonely [G]one


I’ve [C]seen them come, I’ve [D]seen them go
[G]Girl, you [D]ain’t in [Em]this thing alone. [C]Oh no, oh [D]no


I’ve seen [C]girls like you [G]in here before, watched [C]broken hearts [G]break
Though that door a [D]time or two, and [C]I’ll bet he packed [G]all his things
You [C]set out to [G]curse his name and [D]have a few
And [C]I’ll bet you’re doing your [G]best to move [D]on
Well, you’re not the [C]only [D]lonely [G]one
