Lyrics

I (Fm)tried to find you at the (Ab)bot tom of a bot tle,

lay in’ down on the (Ab)bath room floor.

My (Fm)lone li ness was a rat (Ab)tle in the win dows.

You said (Fm)you don’t want me an y more.

And you left me

stand in’ on a cor ner cry in’, feel in’ like a fool for try in’.

I don’t e ven re mem ber why I’m (Eb)wast in’ all these tears on you.

I wish I could e rase our mem ’ry, ’cause you did n’t give a damn a bout me.

Oh, fi nal ly I’m through (Eb)wast in’ all these tears (CN.C.)on you,

these tears on you.

(Fm)You ain’t worth an oth er (Ab)sleep less night,

and I’ll do (Fm)ev ’ry thing I got ta do to (Ab)get you off my mind.

’Cause what you want ed I (Ab)could n’t get;

what you did, boy, I’ll nev er for get.

And you left me tears on you,

these tears on you.

And you left me

stand in’ on a cor ner cry in’, feel in’ like a fool for try in’.

I don’t e ven re mem ber why I’m (Eb)wast in’ all these tears (CN.C.)on you.

I wish I could e rase our mem ’ry, ’cause you did n’t give a damn a bout me.

Oh, fi nal ly I’m through (Eb)wast in’ all these tears on you.

Oh,

these tears on you.

I (Fm)tried to find you at the (Ab)bot tom of a bot tle,

lay in’ down on the (Ab)bath room floor.
