[Verse 1] (Brad)
Ds(Fill 1) G Bm
She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
A Ds(Fill 1)G A
She broke his heart he spent his whole life trying to forget
Bm A Ds(Fill 1)
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
Bm A Ds(Fill 1)
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
A(Fill 2)
Until the night...
[Chorus 1] (Brad & Alison)
D G A(Fill 2)
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
Bm A G
And finally drank away her memory
D A(Fill 2)
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm A G
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
D A(Fill 2)
They found him with his face in the pillow
Bm A G
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
D A(Fill 2)
And when we buried him beneath the willow
G Bm
The angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm G
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La
Bm G
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La
[Verse 2] (Alison)
Ds(Fill 1)G Bm
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
A Ds(Fill 1)G A
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
Bm A Ds(Fill 1)
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
Bm A Ds(Fill 1)
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
A(Fill 2)
Until the night...
[Chorus 2] (Brad & Alison)
D G A(Fill 2)
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
Bm A G
And finally drank away his memory
D A(Fill 2)
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Bm A G
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
D A(Fill 2)
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Bm A G
Clinging to his picture for dear life
D A(Fill 2)
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
G Bm
While the angel's sang a whiskey lullaby
Bm G
La La La La La La La, La La La La La La La (x4)
