[Intro]
A B7 E
[Verse]
E
Whiskey is the gasoline
E
That lights the fire that burns the bridge
C#m
Ice creates the water
C#m
That's no longer running under it
A
Stool holds the fool
A
That pours the whiskey
B7
On his broken heart
[Verse]
E
Cigarettes create the smoke
E
That hides the lonesome in his eyes
C#m
Jukebox plays Hank
C#m
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
A
Dance floor holds the folks
B7
Trying to forget who they are
A
And that's what happens
B7 E E7
In every little honky tonk bar
[Chorus]
A B7
Friday night, it's a given
E C#m
I'll be L-I-V-N living
A
We'll dance on the bar
B7 E E7
Til we're sleeping it off in the car
A B7
Monday morning, it's a given
E C#m
I'll be D-R-A-G-N dragging
A
And that's what happens
B7 E
In every little honky tonk bar
[Verse 2]
E
Neon lights flashing bright
E
Til you're almost hypnotized
C#m
Waitress wears a short skirt
C#m
Gets it on by every guy
A
Coming and going
B7
Always rolling with the flow
[Verse]
E
Bartender pouring drinks
E
Codigo double shot
C#m
You think you're tall and bulletproof
C#m
Til somebody says you're not
A
You step outside thinking
B7
You're gonna show em you are
A
And that's what happens
B7 E E7
In every little honky tonk bar
[Chorus]
A B7
Friday night, it's a given
E C#m
I'll be L-I-V-N living
A
We'll dance on the bar
B7 E E7
Til we're sleeping it off in the car
A B7
Monday morning, it's a given
E C#m
I'll be D-R-A-G-N dragging
A
And that's what happens
B7 E
In every little honky tonk bar
A
Yeah that's what happens
B7 E
In every little honky tonk bar
[Outro]
E
Whiskey is the gasoline
E
That lights the fire
A E
That burns the bridge
