Just Ran Out Of Whiskey

Tom: Em
Intro: Em

Em
I got a fresh tattoo of a broken heart
You'd think I'd learn by now but I ain't that smart
         D                                             Em
I got a pocket full of nothing, head full of lukewarm beer
        Em               Bm
I just wanted to make myself feel good
 D                  A
Feel like I've been understood
        G                A          D/F#       Em
I was wrong, I've been wrong three times this year

Em
I pushed off from shore in this leaky boat
With my only friend, a bottle of whiskey in my coat
       D                                         Em
I was going to drown my sorrows, discuss my attitude
       Em                  Bm
I lay down on my back, I started to curse
   D                         A
Insulted every planet in the universe
     G                  A                   Em
Hey Jupiter, if you're listening, I didn't mean to be that rude



    D
   Hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la,
                    Em
   How hard can it be?
    D
   Hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la, hey la, la, la,
                    Em
   How hard can it be?
   Let me tell you now,
      G                                 A     D/F#    Em
   I just ran out of whiskey and I'm stranded out at sea



Em
Now as the light begins to fade the sun disappears
I see a siren singing in a sea of tears
    D                                Em
I know it's you, I can tell by your hair
        Em                           Bm
And my pulse begins to quicken as I row through the tide
   D                       A
I want to lay my head down at your side
           G                        A     D/F#       Em
Then you slip into the sea, you're gone, that ain't fair

Em
The sea was as black as a pirate's soul
A black velvet bag, a big dark hole
         D                             Em
Just reflections of the mocking moon above
         Em                  Bm
Then a shooting star shot across the skies
         D              A
It was then I began to realize
         G                  A                  Em
I would give it all away if I could have your love


(Chorus)


Em
Now I pulled myself together, had a little chat
With my empty bottle and this little cat
           D                              Em
He'd been hiding, he'd been there for a while
        Em                                 Bm
Well I told him how I missed you, how you made me feel
    D                 A
And even though that cat wasn't real
     G                   A  D/F#  Em
It cheered me up and it made me smile

Em
I stood up in that boat and I laughed till I cried
I danced a little two-step with my pride
         D                                        Em
Then I thought about jumping in again, I was so alone
           Em                              Bm
Well you know I couldn't do it cause I'm standing here
    D                            A
It may have been the liquor, it may have been the fear
   G                    A                 Em
Besides how would that cat have got back home?

(Chorus x 2)
