Capo 2
Verse 1:
D A G
Sometimes I swear you could cry whiskey tears
D A G
Because sometimes you drink that fire like water
D A G
And sometimes you skip the glass and the ice and drink it straight
Like the hurting are able
D A G
And then you pick up that guitar and you sing about the black and white label
Em A
Oh but I, I want you to sing about me
Em A
Oh and I wanna stay up with you all night long
Chorus:
D A
I wanna be your whiskey. Wanna erase her memory.
G
Because you reach for the bottle when you’re hurting full throttle
I wish that was me.
A D A
And she left you alone and that burn gets you through the cold.
G
What’s in that river that makes you not miss her is what I wanna be
D A
I wanna be your whiskey
Verse 2
D A G
Sometimes I think what the hell was she thinking
D A G
To hurt you so bad that she drove you to drinking
D A G
Oh but sometimes I am thankful she was temptation’s dumb fool
D A G
‘Cause now I’m staring at you and I see baby your glass is still half full
Em A
Oh but I, I want you to crave me
Em A
Oh and I wanna be the one who will never do you wrong
Chorus:
D A
I wanna be your whiskey. Wanna erase her memory.
G
Because you reach for the bottle when you’re hurting full throttle
I wish that was me.
A D A
And she left you alone and that burn gets you through the cold.
G
What’s in that river that makes you not miss her is what I wanna be
D A G
I wanna be your whiskey
Chorus:
D A
I wanna be your whiskey. Wanna erase her memory.
G
Because you reach for the bottle when you’re hurting full throttle
I wish that was me.
A D A
And she left you alone and that burn gets you through the cold.

What’s in that river that makes you not miss her is what I wanna be
