[Intro]
Am  G  F  C
[Verse]
  Am               G 
You don't have to drink tonight 
     F                       C 
Why don't you just get some sleep 
           Am               
Cause I'm tired of cryin' in
   G 
 driveways 
Cause I'm tired of cryin' in driveways 
        F                   C 
As you slur the words you speak 
      Am                G 
And I know that growing up 
            F             C 
Has been an evil thing to you 
           Am              G 
Makes you awfully hard to love 
        F                C 
From a lover's point of view
[Instrumental]
Am G F C
[Verse]
         Am           G 
And I'll never understand 
         F                          
How you wound up in the shape you're
 C 
 in 
How you wound up in the shape you're in 
           Am           G            
But I'll always be the fool that fell
      F 
 for you 
But I'll always be the fool that fell for you 
                  C 
And your burning skin 
          Am 
I'll be praying for you 
      G 
And pining for you 
      F                  C 
and hoping you get some rest 
         Am              G 
From a lover's point of view 
               F                C 
It's all been hard to watch at best 
C
[Chorus]
           F            C 
Cause from where I'm standing 
          G            Am 
You got a long climb ahead 
    F                C 
And I will wipe the vomit 
          G                Am 
when you cannot lift your head 
         F             C 
Cause a lover doesn't leave 
      G                    Am 
When times like these get dark 
         F                  C 
I'll be there to watch the sunrise 
         G            Am 
When we reclaim your heart
[Verse]
            Am              G 
And I will pick you up downtown 
             F                    
When you're grinning with a busted
  C 
 lip 
When you're grinning with a busted lip 
       Am                   G 
Cause you're not known for backing
 down 
Cause you're not known for backing down 
           F                        
And those boys are known for talking
  C 
 shit  
And those boys are known for talking shit  
     Am               G 
And now's about the time love 
     F               C 
You really got to decide 
         Am          G 
Are you gonna be a good man to me 
           F                C 
Or die the way your mother died
[Chorus]
            F            C 
Cause from where I'm standing 
           G            Am 
You got a long climb ahead 
    F                C 
And I will wipe the vomit 
          G                Am 
when you cannot lift your head 
         F             C 
Cause a lover doesn't leave 
      G                    Am 
When times like these get dark 
         F                  C 
I'll be there to watch the sunrise 
         G            Am 
When we reclaim your heart
[Outro]
 Am                 G 
You don't have to drink tonight 
       F                     C 
Why don't we just get some sleep 
           Am               
Cause I'm tired of crying in
    G 
 driveways 
Cause I'm tired of crying in driveways 
        F                   C 
As you slur the words you speak
