[B] [F#] [C#] [E]
[B] [F#] [E]
[B] This bar has been [F#] my home away from [E] her.
[B] Used to be [F#] that she was missing [B] me.
[F#]
[B] But now she's moving [F#] in [E] with her best [C]
friend.
And [C#m] I'm the only one [B] who wants [F#] what used [B] to be.
[F#]
[B] I'm here because [F#] today I [E] lost it all.
That man I [F#] didn't want to drink at home [B] alone.
[F#]
[B] I just can't [F#] believe [E] all [F#] my [A] hopes and [C#m] dreams have fallen [F#] like a roll of [B] domino.
I thought the man behind the bar [E] had heard it [F#] all before.
[B] My story must have caught him by [F#] surprise.
When [G#m] he handed me [B] my double, [E] there were tears in his [B]
eyes.
You [E] know you're in [B] trouble when the [F#] bartender [B] cries.
[F#] [E]
He said, [B] last night you swore [F#] you'd never drink [E] again.
I said, next [F#] time I'm really [B] gonna try.
[F#]
[B] So if she ever [F#] calls for me, [E] oh, you [A] can finally [D#] tell her [C#m] that he ain't here [B] and it [F#] won't be a [B] lie.
And I asked the man behind the bar [E] what he'd been [F#] crying for.
[B] He said that bottle used to be a friend of mine.
[F#]
Now [G#m] I stopped drinking [B] doubles, but [E] I still pour them [B] all of the time.
And [E] son, you know [B] you're in trouble when the [F#] bartender [B] cries.
[E] I saw my [F#] own reflection [B] staring back [F#] at me.
I [G#m] knew [C#] every single word he [B] said was [F#] true.
So I [B] told the man behind the bar [E] I thought I'd seen it [G#] all [F#] before.
[B] Until I saw the sadness in his eyes.
[F#] So that's [F#m] when I sat down [B] my double and [E] said my [B] last goodbye.
Cause [E] you know you're in [B] trouble [F#] when the [G] bartender [G#m] cries.
[B] Lord, [E] you know [B] you're in trouble [F#] when the bartender [B] cries.
