Intro: Em     C (2x)


Verse:

Em                                                       C 
I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people 
Em                                           C 
Listening to the walking wounded tell their stories 
Em                                       C 
My turn came I told them my name I said this aint my first time 
           G                                                    D 
And then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life 
     C 
With last night on my breath I stood up and said 


 
             G                    D 
It ain't the whiskey, it aint the cigarettes 
            Em                            C             
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget 
                 G                     D 
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights 
                   Em                C        
Well it ain't that easy, it ain't the whiskey  
               Em     C 
Thats killing me 



Verse:
 
Em                                             C 
So what do you got for this empty spot inside me 
Em                                   C 
A deep dark hole where love used to be 
          Em                              C 
Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else 
     G                                                        D 
Yall sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy 
            C 
Well I hear what you're telling me but I got all the proof I need 



            G                    D 
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes 
            Em                            C             
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget 
                 G                          D 
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights 
                   Em                     C        
Well it ain't that easy, cause it aint the whiskey  
                 Em     
Thats killing me

           C 
But I can't wash you off my mind 



            G                    D 
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes 
            Em                            C            
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I cant forget 
                 G                     D 
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights 
                   Em                C
