Tom: F#
F#
There he goes again
Lost in the drink
G
The bottle's half empty
G
As he tries not to sink
B
There he goes again
F#
He lost control again
The drink takes him down
G
Despair in his eyes
G
As he tries not to drown
B
There he goes again
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
B E
"Don't give in now
F#
We still need you
F# E
I still need you around
He says
B E
"I don't know how
F#
But I still need you
F# E
To save me somehow"
B
There he goes again
[Chorus]
B C#
Worse for the wear
D E
Empty glass, empty stare
G F# E
And he tried to outrun his history
B C# D E
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
G
They tried
F# E
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
B C# D E
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
G
See, I tried
F# E
If anybody's listening"
B C#
But they're broken down now
D E
As he lies in the ground
G
They tried
G B
They just weren't stronger than the whiskey
[Verse 2]
F#
There he goes again
Slave to the drink
G
The bottle's now empty
G
As he tries not to think
B
There he goes again
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
B E
"Don't give in now
F#
We still need you
F# E
I still need you around
He says
B E
"I don't know how
F#
But I still need you
F# E
To save me somehow"
B
There he goes again
[Chorus]
B C#
Worse for the wear
D E
Empty glass, empty stare
G F# E
And he tried to outrun his history
B C# D E
And his kids and his wife fought like hell for his life
G
They tried
F# E
In the end, it ain't a mystery
He said
B C# D E
"Show me the way, don't give up on me today"
G
See, I tried
F# E
If anybody's listening"
B C#
But they're broken down now
D E
As he lies in the ground
G
He tried
G B C# D E F#
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
G B (then pluck E, F#) x 3 then B
He wasn't stronger than the whiskey
