Most of this song is picked, but the pattern is similar throughout, and all of the picking can be done while holding down chords. ΚFor the tab written, hold the chord indicated, then play the strings indicated (low e is 6, high e is 1). ΚListen to the recording for the timing. ΚThe first and second choruses are strummed, as well as the last half of the third. ΚThe bridge is also strummed. ΚThe entire song sounds fine with just strumming if the picking is too difficult. ΚI had to write out the chords for each verse and chorus because he sings each one a little differently, and some of the timing is tricky.

Verse1: ΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚThis bar has been my home away from her

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚUsed to be, she was missing me

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚF

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚNow she's moving in with her best friend

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAnd I'm the only one who wants what used to be

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI'm here because today I lost it all

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI didn't want to drink at home alone

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI just can't believe all my hopes and dreams are falling

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚLike a row of dominoes


Chorus1: ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI thought the man behind the bar

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚHad heard it all before

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚMy story must have caught him by surprise

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ'Cause when he handed me my double

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚThere were tears in his eyes

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚYou know you're in trouble

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC G F

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚWhen the bartender cries


Verse2: ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚHe said, "Last night you swore you'd never drink again"

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚG 

	 ΚI said, "Next time, I'm really gonna try

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG F

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚSo if she ever calls for me

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚOh, you can finally tell her, "He ain't here"

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAnd it won't be a lie


Chorus2: ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI asked the man behind the bar

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚWhat he'd been crying for

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚHe said, "That bottle used to be a friend of mine

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚ

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚNow I've stopped drinking doubles

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚBut I pour them all of the time

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚSon, you know you're in trouble

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚWhen the bartender cries"


Bridge: F ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚF

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAs I saw my own reflection staring back at me, I knew

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ(pause)

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚEvery single word he said was true


Chorus3:(no chord) ΚΚΚΚΚΚC ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚWell, I told the man behind the bar

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG ΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚI thought I'd seen it all before

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚTill I saw the sadness in his eyes

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAm ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚG

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚThat's when I put down my double

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAnd said my last goodbyes

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ'Cause you know you're in trouble

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚWhen the bartender cries

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚC G

 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚOh, you know you're in trouble
