Verse 1:
Am                     G        C
Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind
C                         G     Am
Beach towel rests on the dryin' line
       Am                             G   C
Do I remind you of your daddy in his '88 Ford?
C                         G        Am
Labrador hangin' out the passenger door
    Am                             G     C
The sand from your hair is blowin' in my eyes
C                             G        Am
Blame it on the beach, grown men don't cry
         Am                     G        C
Do you remember that beat down basement couch?
             C                        G        Am
I'd sing you my love songs and you'd tell me about
         Am                G         C
How your mama ran off and pawned her ring
    C                  G     Am
I remember, I remember everything

Chorus:
F                      C
  a cold shoulder at closing time
          G                          Am
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
F                C
  Strange words come on out
      G                          Am
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
F              C
  Pictures and passin' time
          G                           Am
You only smile like that when you're drinking
F                   C
  I wish I didn't, but I do
  G                           Am
Remember every moment on the nights with you

Interlude: F C G

Verse 2:
        Am                     G        C
You're drinkin' everything to ease your mind
    C                     G          Am
But when the hell are you gonna ease mine?
             Am                   G      C
You're like concrete feet in the summer heat
   C                     G        Am
It burns like hell when two souls meet
           Am                        G        C
No, you'll never be the man that you always swore
           C                           G   Am
But I'll remember you singin' in that '88 Ford

Chorus:
F                      C
  a cold shoulder at closing time
          G                          Am
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
F                C
  Strange words come on out
      G                          Am
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
F              C
  Pictures and passin' time
          G                           Am
You only smile like that when you're drinking
F                   C

You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
F                C
  Strange words come on out
      G                          Am
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
F              C
  Pictures and passin' time
          G                           Am
