Tom: F#
F#
[Verse 1]
D#m
Don’t know how she deals with her conscious
B F#
Knowing she’s slowly killing a man
D#m
The bottle’s got my fingerprints on it
B D#m
But she’s still got my blood on her hands
Even if she don’t know
B F#
She is the reason I’m here
G#m
Looking for the stronger stuff
Bartender fill my cup
[Chorus]
B F#
It's how I keep hope alive
G#m D#m
And keep the fire going inside
B F#
Sippin’ this kerosene
C#
Until she comes back to me
[Verse 2]
F#
D#m
Yeah, we had a love like a candle
B F#
But I blew out the flame
D#m
I could be a hard one to handle
B F#
Idiot when there's a hurricane, baby
D#m
Even if she don’t know
B F# G#m7
She is the reason I’ll be right here
G#m
'Til closing time
Drinking it until I’m blind
[Chorus 2]
B F#
It's how I keep hope alive
G#m D#m
And keep the fire going inside
B F#
Sippin’ this kerosene
C# F#
Until she comes back to me
B F#
It burned my tongue a little at first
G#m D#m
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
B F#
Now it’s my favorite drink
C# D#m
The poison taste good to me
B F#
So won’t you bartender please
F# D#m
Pour a another kerosene
[Bridge]
C# F#
I’m never letting go
B D#m C#
Never letting go of what we had
F# B D#m
Oh, you know it’s burning my mind
C# F# B
Looking for my hope in the bottom of a shot glass
[Solo]
G#m B F# G#m D#m B F# C# F#
[Chorus 3]
B F#
It's how I keep hope alive
G#m D#m
And keep the fire going inside
B F#
Sippin’ this kerosene
C# F#
Until she comes back to me
B F#
It burned my tongue a little at first
C# D#m
But the heartbreak I feel is worse
B F#
Now it’s my favorite drink
C# D#m
The poison taste good to me
B F#
So won’t you bartender please
C# F#
Pour a another kerosene
