Intro: (A) (A) (D) 
 
Well, I (D) don't know why you left me 
But I do know that you're gone 
Overnight you turned my life 
Into a sad old (A) song 
(D) One way or another 
I'm gonna (G) get me over you 
Well, I (D) think there's only one thing (A) left  
For me to (D) do 
 
  I (G) don't wanna die of a broken heart 
  (D) That would be too sad 
  Or (G) drive my car off a cliff 
  You see, (D) that would just hurt too (A) bad 
  If I (D) tied a rope around my neck 
  But, I couldn't catch my (G) breath 
  So I (D) think I'll just honky (A) tonk myself to (D) death 
 
(A) (A) (D) 
 
Well I (D) might get a little bit crazy 
But I don't wanna go insane 
Young women and old whiskey 
Well, it just might kill the (A) pain 
I'm gonna (D) find the highest barstool 
(G) Climb up to the top 
I (D) think I'll just drink and (A) 2-step  
'Till I (D) drop 
 
  I (G) don't wanna die of a broken heart 
  (D) That would be too sad 
  Or (G) drive my car off a cliff 
  You see, (D) that would just hurt too (A) bad
