Almost Takes My Mind Off You Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Pad[C]ded[G] bar, it's getting late,
[D]and I gue[G]ss I should go hom[C]e
There's [D]people everywhere, and air,
but somehow I feel [C]so [G]alone.
[D]I'll [C]be [G]here, close in time
Hiding [Am]from [G]the [C]truth
[A]There's [D]a smile on my face
My heart's as empty
As this bottle [C]I'm clink[G]ing on to
[D]I h[C]ang i[G]n this old bar
Till they shut the lights down
and it's time for me [C]to go
Put my last dol[D]lar in the jukebox
And I play from gas
And sing along to [C]Chisel [G]and Smile
An[D]d I talk a[C]bout y[G]ou
Most every night

[Verse 2]
The [G]bartenders know you by [C]name name

[Verse 3]
The And let me [D]make
a leaf

[Verse 4]
While they're pouring me [D]another drink

[Verse 5]
And they [D]watch me slowly [C]waste [G]away
But it [Am]helps [G]take [C]my mind off things
[D]It leaves for [G]a little while
Then your memory comes
creep[A]ing back in
Thought[Am]s of you start all ov[D]er again
Yeah, this bottle's got its [C]hooks in me
[D]The same way you [G]used to do
[B]But it helps take my [C]mind off things
And every [D]now and then
It al[C]most takes my [D]mind off
[G]you[Am][G][C][D][C][D][G]
I [D]walk [C]down the street
[G]Did I meet a young couple so in [C]love?
Their [D]holding hands the way we used to do
I just smile at them [C]an d [G]move along
[D]So [C]now[G], I'm nobody without you,
that's [Am]what [G]I've be[C]come
Just a [D]lonely face on an empty street
Tryin' like hell [C]to [G]hold [D]on
[G]But it [Am]helps [G]take [C]my mind off things
[D]At least for [G]a little while
And then your memory
comes [A]creepin' back in
[Am]Thoughts of you start all [D]over again
Yeah, this bottle's got its [C]hooks in me
[D]The same way you [G]used to do
[B]But it hells take [C]my mind off things
every [D]now and then
It al[C]most takes [D]my mind off [G]you
Yeah, this bottle's got its [C]hooks in me
[D]The same way you [G]used to do
[B]But it helps take [C]my mind off things
And every [D]time I think
It [C]almost takes [D]my mind off you
[G]You[C][G]
