Full Song Lyrics with Chord Progression:

(Verse 1 – A, E, D, A)
A E
In a dusty town, under a whiskey sky,
D A
I found a broken heart, trying to learn to fly.
A E
Her eyes were lost, in a sea of pain,
D A
And I was just a nervous bear, in a world of chains.

(Chorus – E, D, A, E)
E D
She sang me a whiskey lullaby,
A E
A tale of loss under the starry sky.
E D
Her pain echoed in the moonlit night,
A E
And in that moment, we took flight.

(Verse 2 – A, E, D, A)
A E
We danced with shadows, and chased the dawn,
D A
Our spirits free, but our hearts were torn.
A E
In the echoes of her sorrowful song,
D A
I found a place where I belong.

(Chorus – E, D, A, E)
E D
She sang me a whiskey lullaby,
A E
A tale of love that never dies.
E D
In her melody, I found my fight,
A E
Nervous bear under the moonlight.
