[G#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well it's been ten years [G#] and a thousand tears [F#] to look at the last [C#] time we had
A broken nose [G#] and a broken [F#] heart and a deep [C#] bottom of gin
Well I sit [G#] and I pray [F#] in my broken down [C#]
Chevrolet
While I'm singing to [G#] myself, [F#] there's got to [C#] be another way
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] broken chain
Well I'm lonely [G#] and I'm tired and I can't [C#] take any more pain
Take away, take [G#] away, can [F#] I do it all [C#] again?
Take away, take [G#] away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey
Take away this bottle [C#] and drink
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well I searched and [G#] I searched [F#] to find the perfect [C#] life
A brand new car [G#] and a brand new suit
[F#] I used to have a [C#] good life, but where have I [G#] gone?
[F#] I want to show up by [C#] myself now
There's been a run all [G#] young and I [F#] will not go [C#] anywhere
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] broken chain
Well I'm sick [G#] and I'm tired [F#] and I can't [C#] take any more pain
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] can I do it [C#] all again?
Take away, [G#] take away, take [F#] away, hey, hey, hey
Take away this bottle and drink
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well I passed the bar [G#] on the way to [F#] my TV hotel [C#] room
I spent all [G#] my money on [F#] beer and drinks and some half [C#]-assed news
Well I wake up [G#] every morning [F#] all married and I [C#] can't reach you
Turns out my heart is [G#] getting harder [F#] upon the news
[C#] That's it now
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away this [C#] broken chain
Well I'm lonely [G#] and I'm tired [F#] and I can't take [C#] any more pain
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] can I do it [C#] all again?
Take away, [G#] take away, [F#] take away, hey, hey, hey
Take away [C#] this bottle and drink
[G#] [F#] [C#] [G#] [F#] [C#]
