[Intro]
C Am G..........
C Am G C..............
[Chorus]
C..I finally quit smokin' cigarettes
AmAnd I don't Go downtown drinkin' 'til it's dawn
G CThe best parts of you are here, but you're still gone
[Verse]
C..And, Lord, I've been tryin' to smile like you told me
AmLaugh like the old me, it comes out all wrong
G CThe best parts of you are here, but you're still gone
CAnd I still tie that double knot
AmThe one you taught, that gets caught on the banks
G CThe best parts of you are here, but you still ain't
[Interlude]
C Am G..........
C Am G C..............
[Chorus]
C..I finally quit smokin' cigarettes
AmAnd I don't Go downtown drinkin' 'til it's dawn
G CThe best parts of you are here but you'r? still gone
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
AmI heard your father got sick of Long Island
GI'v? been tryin' like hell to call
C FMy mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why
Am G..I heard they shut the old bar we'd Go too when we needed rest
C FWe'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights
AmYou said I was the perfect gentleman
GYou used to hold me by my gentle hands
C FThese ain't the hopeful hands you held before
Am G..And I've been drinkin' so much lately, it seems a **** double blade
C F'Cause when I'm drunk I dream you're dancin' down the shore
[Interlude]
Am G C F..............
Am G C F..............
[Chorus]
AmI heard your father got sick on Long Island
GI've been tryin' like hell to call
C FMy mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why
Am G..I heard they shut the old bar we'd Go to, when we needed rest
C FWe'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights
[Interlude]

[Outro]
AmI heard your father got sick on Long Island
GI've been tryin' like hell to call
C FMy mind ain't well and I just can't tell you why
Am G..I heard they shut the old bar we'd Go to, when we needed rest
C FWe'd always stay out too late Tuesday nights
