[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am]

[Verse 1]
There he [C]goes
again. Lost in the drink.
The [F]bottle's half empty
as he tries not to sink.
[G]There he goe[Am]s, again.
He lost con[C]trol again. The drink
takes him down.
Des[F]pair in his eyes as he tries not to drown.
[G]There he goe[Am]s, again.

[Verse 2]
[Am]
She says, [Dm]“Don't give [Em]in now. We [F]still [C]need
[F]you. I still nee[C]d you[G] aro[Am]und.”
He says, “I don't know [Em]how,
but I still [F]need [C]you to save [G]me somehow.”
There he [Am]goes, again.

[Verse 3]
[Am]Worse for [G]the wear, empty [C]glass, empty stare,
[F]and he tried, to out[Em]run [C]his [G]history.
cnd his [Am]kids and his [G]wife fought like [C]hell for his
life. [F]They tried. In the [C]end it ain't a [G]mystery.
He [Am]said, “Show me [G]the way. Don't give [C]up on me today. See,
[F]I tried. [C]If anybody's [G]listening?”
But they're [Am]broken down [G]now as he [C]lies
in the ground. [F]They tried...
They just weren't [G]stronger
than [Am]the whiskey.

[Verse 4]
[Am]
There he [C]goes again. Slave to the drink.
[Am]The [F]bottle's now empty
as he tries not to think.
[G]There he goe[Am]s, again.

[Verse 5]
[Am]
She says, [Dm]“Don't give in [Em]now. We still [F]need
you. I still [C]need [G]you [Am]around.”
He says, “I don't know [Em]how,
but I still [F]need you [C]to save [G]me somehow.”
There he [Am]goes, again.

[Verse 6]
[Am]Worse for [G]the wear, empty [C]glass, empty stare,
and [F]he tried, to [Em]outrun his [G]history.
cnd his [Am]kids and his [G]wife fought like [C]hell for his
life. [F]They tried. In the [C]end it ain't a [G]mystery.
He [Am]said, “Show me [G]the way. Don't give [C]up on me today. See,
[F]I tried. [Em]If anybody's [G]listening?”
But they're [Am]broken down [G]now
as he [C]lies in the ground. [F]He tried...
[C]He wasn't str[G]onger than the
[Am]whiskey.[G][C][Em][F]
He wasn't [G]stronger than the [Am]whiskey.
