[Verse]
             G                     D        A
When you're from down around where I grew up
        G                           D       Asus4 A
You go down in that river then you come back  up
          G                         D         A
Then one night in a field 'round a bonfire lit
         G                     D
You get passed a jar, and you take a little sip
A
 So here I sit
 
 
[Chorus]
          G       D
It's like oh, oh, oh
      A                     Bm7              G       D
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
          A                 Bm7               G       D
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
       A                          Bm              G
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
               A
High and over empty
              G      Asus4 A

[Verse]
 G                     D          A Asus4 A
Some nights it's them words in red
      G                   D        Asus4 A
That helps me, heals me, clears my head
          G                   D              A Asus4 A
But then other nights when I ain't that tough
               G                 D
It's straight ninety-proof in a Dixie cup
Asus4          A
 As I fill 'er up
 
 
[Chorus]
          G       D
It's like oh, oh, oh
      A                     Bm7              G       D
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
          A                 Bm                G       D
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
       A                          Bm7             G
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
               A
High and over empty
              G      D  A

[Break]
      G               D             Asus4 A
That devil right here on my shoulder
         G              D               A
Keeps remindin' me that I can't hold her
 
 
[Chorus]
          G       D
It's like oh, oh, oh
      A                     Bm7              G       D
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
          A                                   G       D
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
 
       A                          Bm7             G
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
               A
High and over empty
 
 
[Chorus]
              G       D
And it's like oh, oh, oh
      A                     Bm7              G       D
That King James says, "Boy, you know better" oh, oh, oh
          A                 Bm                G       D
But that bottle says, "Boy, you can't let her go" oh, oh
       A                          Bm              G
Since she's been gone, I've been leanin' on what gets me
               A
