Gary Allen, "It Ain't the Whiskey"
(intro)
2x
[Em] [C]
(verse)
[Em]I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken p[C]eople
[Em]Listening to the walking wounded tell their s[C]tories
[Em]My turn came I told them my name I said t[C]his aint my first time
And then a [G]man started talking how the devil and the bottle was [D]ruining my life
With [C]last night on my breath I stood up and said
(chorus)
It ain't the [G]whiskey, it aint the [D]cigarettes
It ain't the[Em] stuff I smoke, its all these [C]things I can't forget
And it ain't the [G]hard time, it ain't th[D]e all nights
Well it ain't that [Em]easy, it ain't the[C] whiskey
Thats killing m[Em]e[C]
(verse)
[Em]So what do you got for this empty spot inside m[C]e
[Em]A deep dark hole where love used to b[C]e
Before she[Em] ripped it out and ran into the [C]arms of someone else
Yall [G]sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of r[D]emedy
Well I hear [C]what you're telling me but I got all the proof I need
(chorus)
It ain't the[G] whiskey, it ain't th[D]e cigarettes
It ain't the[Em] stuff I smoke, its all these [C]things I can't forget
And it ain't the [G]hard time, it ain't the all[D] nights
Well it ain't that [Em]easy, cause it aint the[C] whiskey
Thats killing me[Em]
(instrumental)
[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [G] [D]
(bridge)
[D]I got all I need to [A]drown this hurt inside
But I can't[C] wash you off my mind
(chorus-out)
It ain't the[G] whiskey, it ain't th[D]e cigarettes
It ain't the[Em] stuff I smoke, its all these [C]things I cant forget
And it ain't the [G]hard time, it ain't th[D]e all nights
Well it ain't that [Em]easy, it ain't the[C] whiskey
Em C, Em C
That's killing me
Em C, Em C, D Em D/F# G Am A Em
It ain't the whiskey That's killing me oooooh
