(Verse 1)
B F# E
Man I hate you found me here
B F# E
With whiskey on my breath
B C#m G#m7
I know I should be ashamed
E C#m B/F# F#
So much for those twelve steps
E F#
He said "No my son, I know you're doing your best
E F#
With all you've been through, Hey I understand
G#m7 F# E
I only came in here to be your friend
C#m
You know she still asks about you
B/D# E
And wonders how you're doing and where you've been
(Chorus 1)
B
Tell her I'm in Tampa on the causeway,
C#m
Watching the waves roll in
E
Tell her I'm in Aspen, in a cabin,
F#
Finding myself again
B
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
C#m
Better than I've ever been
E
Just don't tell her that you saw me
F#
Drowning in this bottle
G#m F# E
Trying to make her disappear
B F# B
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
Break: B F# E
(Verse 2...same chords as verse 1)
It would only break her heart if she knew the truth
You see I told her when she left, this is the last thing I would do
Tomorrow, I swear I'm starting over again
I've made it this far and I know how it ends
But she doesn't have to find out where I am
So if you see or hear from her again
(chorus 2...same chords as chorus 1)
Tell her I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Selling cars five days a week
Tell her I'm in Mobile Alabama
Getting back on my feet
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
Looking better than you've ever seen
Just don't tell her that you saw me drowning in this bottle
Trying to make her disappear
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
But let her know that I still care
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
*The B/D# can be played as a G#m7 if you want to
play it like that.
