Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
Em  
My friends are in the bathroom
getting higher than the empire state
          C  
my lover she's waiting for me
just across the bar
                             D  
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
asking 'bout a scar
                             G  
and I know I gave it to you months ago
Em  
I know you're trying to forget
C  
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
        D  
you know I'm trying hard to take it back
                                  Em                                    D
