D Em G A
Momma cried when you left me
D Em G A
Know she's always loved you so
D Em G A
She said "Hey fool what the hell did you do?"
D Em G A
I said "Now mom I swear to God I just don't know"
D Em G A
Picture book sittin on the table
D Em G A
Memories we've stacked up through the years
D Em G A
But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages
G D/F#
Cuz your the kinda gone
Em A D
Who ain't never coming back home again
G A D
And tonight all the dancehalls are empty
G A D
No young lovers on the floor
G D/F# Em
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
A D
Drink it till I just can't drink no more
*Repeat 1/2 Intro *
D Em G A
And I don't know why you had to leave me
D Em G A
All I really know is that you are gone, long gone
D Em G A
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
D Em G A
You're the only life I've ever known
D Em G A
And I guess you heard the highway calling
D Em G A
Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast
D Em G A
I had to fight the urge to follow
G D/F# Em A D
I guess some time away from me is all you've ever really needed most
CHORUS II
G A D
And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
G A D
And I don't think I can take it anymore
G D/F# Em
So I'll sit here with my whiskey
A D
Drink it till I just can't drink no more

D Em G A
Late night phone call from the East Coast
D Em
Said she had enough
G A
She's coming on back home
D Em G A
Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile
G D/F#
If she leaves right now
Em A D
Maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn
G A D
And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
G A D
Tomorrow will be like it was before
G D/F# Em
So I'll put away my whiskey
A D
Guess I just don't need it anymore
G D/F# Em
Yeah I'll put away my whiskey
G A D
Guess I just don't need it anymore
*Repeat INTRO chords *
