(Verse 1)
[G]Drinking whiskey in the [C]morning light,
[D]Trying to forget you left last [G]night

[D]In this game of love, I’m falling [G]apart
(Chorus)
[G]Whiskey tears and [C]lonely fears,

[G]Your love was my [C]sweetest pain,
[D]In this bronze shame, I’m [G]going insane

[G]The night sky holds [C]no solace,
[D]In your absence, love feels [G]heartless
[G]Our memories linger [C]like a ghost,
[D]In this bronze shame, I [G]miss you the most
(Chorus)
[G]Whiskey tears and [C]lonely fears,
[D]Drowned in the sorrow of [G]our lost years
[G]Your love was my [C]sweetest pain,
