[Verse]
Bm G A
There ain't too many 2am back roads that I ain't drove on drunk
Bm G A
Theres a trail ahead behind my trunk that I just can't out run
Bm
Cursing her name, the man I became
G Em
And the flames has done burn out
A Bm
Heard theres a place out there for guys like me
G A
The demons are chasing me south
[Chorus]
Bm
Yeah, I gotta get there first
G A
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
Bm
If I'm gonna make this work
G A
I gotta couple miles on this ground
Bm
And I can see the light at the end of the bottle
G A
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Bm
I let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
G A Bm
But all I know is I gotta get it there first
G Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Break]
A Bm
If the water run fast enough to flush these pills
G Em
They wouldn't be on the counter
A Bm
And if this whiskey glass could hold anything more
G Em
It'd be enough to drown her
A Bm
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
G Em
I'll take more or-or-or-or-or
A Bm
An-and Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G A
I gotta get myself off the floor
[Chorus]
Bm
But I gotta get there first
G A
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
Bm
If I'm gonna make this work
G A
I gotta couple miles on this ground
Bm
And I can see the light at the end of the bottle
G A
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Bm
I let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
G A Bm
But all I know is I gotta get it there first

Bm
Get there first
G A Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Chorus]
Bm
Yeah, I gotta get there first
G A
Before they build a wall I can't knock down
Bm
If I'm even gonna make this work
G A
I gotta couple miles on this ground
Bm
And I can see the light at the end of the bottle
G A
Drinking my way through the end of this trouble
Bm
I let the past be the past and the worst be the worst
G A Bm
But all I know is I gotta get it there first
[Outro]
G A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Bm
Gotta get there first
G A
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Bm Bm G Em
Get there first

[Verse 1]
I tried to find you at the bottom of a bottle
Layin' down on the bathroom floor
My loneliness was rattlin' the window
You said you don't want me anymore
[Chorus]
And you left me standin' on a corner, cryin'
And feelin' like a fool for tryin'
I don't even remember why I've wasted all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
'Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through wastin' all these tears on you
These tears on you, oh
[Verse 2]
You ain't worth another sleepless night
And I'll do everything I gotta do to get you off my mind
'Cause what you wanted, I couldn't give
And what you did, girl, I'll never forget
[Chorus]
And you left me standin' on a corner, cryin'
And feelin' like a fool for tryin'
I don't even remember why I've wasted all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
'Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through wastin' all these tears on you, oh
These tears on you, oh
[Chorus]
You left me standin' on a corner, cryin'
Feelin' like a fool for tryin'
I don't even remember why I've wasted all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
'Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through wastin' all these tears on you
These tears on you, yeah
[Outro]
I tried to find you at the bottom of a bottle
Layin' down on the bathroom floor
