Tom: E
E
Well the lights go off and the curtains go down
A
Like an old romance without any sound
E B B7
You don't get the story but the heartache still comes through
E
And right or wrong It never comes up it seems
A
It's just taken for granted by the girl of your dreams
E B7 E E7
And I guess I was taken for granted too
[Chorus]
A
Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
E
Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
A E
You were there You had somebody new
A
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
E
Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
B B7 E
While the world keeps moving 'round and 'round on you
[Verse]
E
And you must have heard the sound of the truck
A
Cause the lights went back down and I saw you get up
E B B7
But I drove away - tell me what else was I to do?
E
And I wish we all had just a tiny compartment
A
A little black box where we could put our heartaches
E B B7 E
'Cause I'd lock mine in and I'd give the key to you
[Chorus]
A
Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
E
Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
A E
You were there You had somebody new
A
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
E
Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
B B7 E
While the world keeps moving 'round and 'round on you
[Break]

B B7 E
[Chorus]
A
Spent my last six dollars on a bottle of whiskey
E
Drove out past your place but that was just wishful thinking
A E
You were there You had somebody new
A
And I sat and I watched the sun set on the hill
E
Funny how you're sure the time's standing still
B B7 E
While the world keeps moving 'round and 'round on you
[Outro]
E
Well the lights go off and the curtains go down
A
Like an old romance without any sound

You don't get the story but the heartache still comes through
