[Intro]
G Em C Cadd9 C D x2
[Verse 1]
G Em G Em
Kinda layin low - a little girl and hands of silk
D G D
A quick game of touch and go and the loss of words
G Em G Em
It’s just the way things go - flowers open, petals wilt
D G D G G Em C Cadd9 C D
Fingers lock and people close and minds wander down down down
G Em
Lips pressed together too tight to speak
C Em G D
A little taste to top the night then drift off to sleep
Em Em7 C Cmaj9 D G G Em C Cadd9 C D x2
And my girlwhiskey She goes down smooth and sweet
[Verse 2]
G Em G Em
It’s hard to know what’s exception, what’s the rule
D G D
And when the honest blade is cruel - or when it’s kisses that carve the soul
G Em G Em
Sitting in the park - children play and children fall
D G D G G Em C Cadd9 C D
And children tear their friends apart - rebuilt to run again again again
G Em
Mamas teach your babies - your babies teach the rest
C Em G D
There’s some things those that know the least, well they know the best
Em Em7 C Cmaj9 D G G Em C Cadd9 C D x2
And my girlwhiskey - can you teach me to forget?
[Verse 3]
G Em G Em
Now all alone - a little bourbon wet and warm
D G D
Off to dig yourself as whole - a little trickle fills right in
G Em G Em
It’s still good to know - with all the cracks there’s still no leaks
D G D G G Em C Cadd9 C D
And with the lights down soft and low - no need to see so far so far so far
G Em
It’s too soon to write her but too late to call
C Em G D
It’s all spent in gettin there - then free for the fall
Em Em7 C Cmaj9 D G G Em C Cadd9 C D x2
And my girlwhiskey - don’t need the girl at all
