[Intro]
C  Am  G  F

[Verse 1]
C               Am
Some whiskey on ice sounds
                  G          F
 pretty damn good again tonight
C                      Am
Some Tennessee or Kentucky's
                    G          F
gonna set me right again tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
            Em
And goodbye hurts
C            F
Some whiskey works
                   Am
When I'm drinkin' alone
Am
Some whiskey don't

[Chorus]
G
Some whiskey's good in a shot
C
Some you sip on the rocks
C
Some you raise up and drink
G
Some burn up every memory
G
I've been drunker than hell
Am
Tried everyone on the shelf
                         F
From every shelf in this town
                  Dm
But I ain't found one
                 C
that brings you back

[Verse 2]
C               Am7
Jim Beam didn't turn your
                 G      F
 high beams back around
C
And that Black Label Jack
        Am
didn't hold you from rollin'
      G          F
outta this town

[Pre-Chorus]
                Em
You're drivin' away
             F
Drivin' me insane
            Am
Whiskey and tears
          G
Pour like rain

[Chorus]
G
Some whiskey's good in a shot
C
Some you sip on the rocks
C
Some you raise up and drink
G
Some burn up every memory
G
I've been drunker than hell
Am
Tried everyone on the shelf
                         F
From every shelf in this town
                  Dm
But I ain't found one
                C
that brings you back
