CAPO 3!
Intro: A E D A E D
Verse1:
A E D
This bar has been my home away from her
A E A E
Used to be, she was missing me
A E D
Now she's moving in with her best friend
A E A E
And I'm the only one who wants what used to be
A E D
I'm here because today I lost it all
A E A E
I didn't want to drink at home alone
A E D A
I just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling
E A E
Like a row of dominoes
Chorus1:
A E
I thought the man behind the bar
D E
Had heard it all before
A F#m E
My story must have caught him by surprise
F#m E
Cause when he handed me my double
D A
There were tears in his eyes
D A
You know you're in trouble
E A E D
When the bartender cries
Verse2:
He said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"
I said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try
So if she ever calls for me
Oh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here"
And it won't be a lie
Chorus2:
I asked the man behind the bar
What he'd been crying for
He said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine
Now I've stopped drinking doubles
But I pour them all of the time
Son, you know you're in trouble
When the bartender cries"
Bridge:
D E A F#m D
As I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew
D E (pause)
Every single word he said was true
Chorus3:
(no chord) A E
Well, I told the man behind the bar
D E A
I thought I'd seen it all before
F#m E
Till I saw the sadness in his eyes
F#m E
That's when I put down my double
D A
And said my last goodbyes
D A
'Cause you know you're in trouble
E F#m
When the bartender cries
D A E
Oh, you know you're in trouble
A E D A
When the bartender cries
