[Verse 1]
            Cadd9
It's not your fault that
           G
you're not her
                D             Em
It's  just this memory in my head
              Cadd9
You  know you always want
      G
the ones that you
       D
can't have
            Cadd9           G
But still I tear myself apart
          D                  Em
Knowing you're the one that breaks
        Cadd9            G
I  pray every night that you
don't hear the
D
phone

[Chorus]
             G
But  I still call her when
       D
I get drunk
        Em                     Cadd9
And she shows up and drives me home
          G             D
When  I'm drownin' in a memory
           Em
that ain't her
                Cadd9
Staring at her windshield,
       G
headed home
     Am               Em
And praying she don't see
              Cadd9
she's not the one
     D               Cadd9    G
That drove me to the whiskey

[Verse 2]
                  Cadd9
Now,  if I wasn't scared
            G
I'd let her go
             D           Em
But I don't wanna be alone
              Cadd9
Why can't the one that's
      G
in my arms be in
        D
my heart?
               Cadd9          G
One day she'll give up on me too
                D
And I'll be the man she
            Em
looks right through
              Cadd9
She'll wonder why she gave
   G
so much and
         D
why she cared

[Chorus]
But  I still call her when
I get drunk
        Em                     Cadd9
And she shows up and drives me home
          G             D
When  I'm drownin' in a memory
           Em
that ain't her
                Cadd9
Staring at her windshield,
       G
headed home
     Am               Em
And praying she don't see
              Cadd9
she's not the one
     D               Cadd9
That drove me to the whiskey
