Thanks to Gary W at cowboylyrics for the structure
G Em C
Whiskey nights and jukebox lights and honky-tonkin' friends
D C G
And hangin' out from dusk till dawn and softly slippin' in
G Em C
Lies were told, life took it's toll and brought love to it's knees
G D G
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me
Chorus:
D C G
She never turned a bottle up and I never turned one down
A C D
She gave me a thousand chances but I took them all down town
G Em C
It broke her heart, tore her apart, to make me a memory
G D G
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me
She tried love, then she got tough, but nothing changed my mind
The bottle was my weakness, I was livin' whiskey time
Now it's too late and my heart's payin' for the things I should have seen
But it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me
Chorus
Yes, it took a lot of drinkin' to get that woman over me
