Intro: Dm G F - F/E - F/D - C
Verse 1:
I didn't come in here to [G]dance,
And I don't plan to have a [C]good time,
So honey just top off this [G]glass,
And take this pocket full of [Am]dimes,
And go wake up that old [F]Juke Box,[G]
Then just leave me a[Am]lon[-]e,[Am7/G][-][Dm]
I've got a past to put be[F]hind,
So keep one thing in [G]mind,
When you're pickin' out them [F]song[-]s[F/E][-][F/D][-][C]
Chorus:
Play me something I can [F]drink to,
Something I can sit and [C]think to,
A song bout nothing left to [Dm]lose,
From someone who's been in my [F]shoes,
And play it loud enough to [G]drown out all the hell I'm goin' through,
Make it something I can [F]cry to,
A tune her memory can [Am]die[-] t[Am7/G]o, [-] [Dm]
I've got a table in the [F]dark,
A bottle and a broken [G]heart,
Play me something I can [F]drink[-] t[F/E]o[-][F/D][-][C]
Verse 2:
I've got everything I [G]need,
To get me where I'm g[C]oin,
And when I get there I'll be [G]free,
If only for t[Am]onight,
As long as that steel guitar is [F]playin,[G]
She'll be goin', goin[Am]', [-]go[Am7/G]ne,[-][Dm]
Well I've got a ghost to[F] kill,
And I know this whiskey[G] will,
With some help from Hank a[F]nd J[-]on[F/E]es[-][F/D][-][C]
(Chorus)
Outro:
I've got nowhere else to[F] go,
So keep 'em comin' sad and[C] slow,
Play me something I can d[F]rink to
