[Verse 1]
  C
I finally quit smoking
cigarettes
      C
And I don’t go downtown
                    Am
drinking till it’s dawn
         G
The best parts of you are
                       C
 here but you’re still gone
    C
And lord I’ve been trying
 to smile like you told me
C
Laugh like the old me,
                  Am
it comes out all wrong
         G
The best parts of you are
                       C
 here but you’re still gone
    C
And I still tie that
double knot
    C
The one you taught that
                    Am
gets caught on the banks
         G
The best parts of you are
                    C
 here but you still ain’t

You said I was the
perfect gentleman

You used to hold me
by my gentle hands

These ain't the hopefuls

hands you held before
Am
And I’ve been drinking
 so much lately
   G
It seems a damn double blade
             C
Cuz when I’m drunk I dream
                         F
 you’re dancing down the shore
