Introduction:  Em   C  

 Em                                                                                                             C 
I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people
 Em                                                                                     C 
Listening to the walking wounded tell their stories
 Em                                                                             C 
My turn came I told them my name I said this aint my first time
                       G                                                                                                       D 
And then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life
           C 
With last night on my breath I stood up and said
                           G                                       D 
It ain't the whiskey, it aint the cigarettes
                         Em                                                       C 
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget
                                   G                                         D 
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
                                       Em                               C 
Well it ain't that easy, it ain't the whiskey
                               Em         C

 Em                                                                                         C 
So what do you got for this empty spot inside me
 Em                                                                     C 
A deep dark hole where love used to be
                     Em                                                           C 
Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else
           G                                                                                                               D 
Yall sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy
                         C 
Well I hear what you're telling me but I got all the proof I need
                         G                                       D 
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes
                         Em                                                       C 
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget
                                   G                                                   D 
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
                                       Em                                         C

                       C 
But I can't wash you off my mind
