[Chorus]
C
What am I gonna do
C
When I get over you?
G
What am I gonna be
                          C
When you're just a memory?
C
What am I gonna drink
                     F
When I don't have to think
       G
about what I'm gonna
             C
do without you?

F                  G
Been drinkin' everythin'
         C
 on that shelf
F              G         C
Feels like I'm killin' myself
F                  G
You're gone and it hurts
      C
 like hell
F
Wishin' I was anybody else

F              G    C
Jukebox with a neon glow

Keeps playin'

Time keeps tickin'

They say it'll heal you,
