Japanese Whiskey

[Verse 1]
F                         Am
We stayed up drinking the Japanese whiskey
     Adim                          D
That your father brought home from Tokyo
Bb                       Bbm
You said that I can’t go home until it’s empty
    F                  Am
But my, my lips are dry
F                            Am
I don’t like the taste but I like how it sounds
     Adim                        D
So I stayed there and wasted our time
Bb                   Bbm                    F        Am
I tried to act like a man but I felt like a child
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                      Bb                      F       Am
Seems like the closer I hold you, the colder it feels
Gm                   Bb                            F      Am
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real
 
 
[Chorus]
  F                     Am
I wanted to be what you wanted in me
       Adim               Bb
But if I’m being honest I can’t
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                            Am
You don’t keep lists of your hits or your misses
    Adim                  D
But I carve my kisses in stone
Bb                    Bbm
I keep my past bеhind glass
                      F       Am
But you don’t want to know
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm                      Bb                      F        Am
Seems like thе closer I hold you, the colder it feels
Gm                   Bb                            F      Am
We only fall in love with things that ain’t really real
 
 
[Chorus]
  F                     Am
I wanted to be what you wanted from me
       Adim               Bb
But if I’m being honest I can’t

[Outro]
               F                                  Bb
Oh, I close my eyes and swallow your bitter words whole
        Am                                     Bb
I can’t decide, if I like it or just can’t let go
           F                                  Bb
I close my eyes and swallow your bitter words whole
        Am                                     Bb
I can’t decide, if I like it or just can’t let go
