(Said goodbye)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em7
Slide that bottle down to me
G
I need me some of that Tennesee
C                             D
Here's to her not next to me, pour up another round
Em7
Make it strong, man, make it burn
G
I forget how bad it hurts
     C                      D
I'll take hungover over her memory hangin' 'round
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7                G                           C
 If I don't take a sip, I'm right back on your lips
                        D
I should quit, the only problem is
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em7                        G
If I stop drinkin', baby, I'll start thinkin' maybe
                 C                                     D
I'll hit you up, say, "What's up?" like you never said goodbye
               Em7                              G
Leanin' on the bourbon is the only thing that's workin'
                   C                                      D
Without it, I'd be missin' you, wishin' that you'd change your mind
             Em7
Yeah, 'cause over me ain't over you
    G
I'm knockin' back this hundred-proof
    C                                     D
I'm in a mess, scared to death of missin' you
          Em7
If I stop drinkin'
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G           C
 (If I stop drinkin')
D
(Goodbye)
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em7
I don't wanna go down memory lane
         G
That's a two-lane road right to the pain
    C                            D
Can still see you like yesterday down on 30A
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em7                              G
The sunset on your suntan, I can see it in the mirror of your Ray-Bans
     C                                D
This double shot's all I got, I don't stand a chance
 
 
[Chorus]
          Em7                        G
If I stop drinkin', baby, I'll start thinkin' maybe
                 C                                     D
I'll hit you up, say, "What's up?" like you never said goodbye
               Em7                              G
Leanin' on the bourbon is the only thing that's workin'
                   C                                      D
Without it, I'd be missin' you, wishin' that you'd change your mind
             Em7
Yeah, 'cause over me ain't over you
    G
I'm knockin' back this hundred-proof
    C                                     D
I'm in a mess, scared to death of missin' you
          Em7
If I stop drinkin'
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
G           C
 (If I stop drinkin')
D
 (Goodbye)
