Intro 
Em   (f#)G   Am   (x8)


Em (F#)G               Am
Do you know what you're doing
Em        (F#)G                Am
Now that he's gone you're all alone
Em         (F#)G    Am
Except for the band few hundred friends
Em (F#)G     Am
That paid to attend


Em   (f#)G   Am   (x2)


Em    (F#)G            Am
Is it because venus is rising
Em    (F#)G            Am
Burnin' a hole in your heart
Em           (F#)G             Am
You're having such a hard time deciding
Em         (F#)G          Am
And you don't know how to stop
Em          (F#)G                      Am
The whiskey and applause, just another way, to get lost
Em    (F#)G             Am
Cause you don't want to remember
Em    (F#)G                Am
When you used to treat him better
Em    (F#)G                Am
When you used to treat him better


G            C      (C-B)
If you could learn
Am               D     (Riff)
How to play that guitar
Am                D
You sure could go far
(D)            G         Am    C
Cause when you sing  (La-la-la-la)
(C)           G        Am    C
You sure know how  (La-la-la-la)
(C)        G          Am    C
To break a heart  (La-la-la-la)
(C)           G        Am    C
You sure know how  (La-la-la-la)
(C)        G          Am    C
To break a heart  (La-la-la-la)
