Verse 1:
 
          D                                              G 
I've been thinking of the words I used to say when I was drinking 
                                      D 
Seems like it's only yesterday when I was heartache 
                                          G 
I didn't mean to treat you bad, but I was suffering from self-pity that I had 
          Em          A 
And I was tired and I couldn't stand the pain 
               G                 A 
I couldn't put that bottle down 
                     D          G 
'Cause it was easier that way 

Verse 2:
             D 
Now, I don't wanna be the same man I was back then 
               G 
'Cause I don't understand all those selfish little plans 
                        Em 
And when I look into my father’s eyes 
        A                                        G                 A 
I see a torn and desperate man who couldn't put that bottle down 
                     D          G 
'Cause it was easier that way 
                     D 
'Cause it was easier that way 

 
             G                               A 
I guess it's torture singing songs about the man I used to be 
         G                           A 
I wonder if you sometimes see that man inside of me 
      D 
But I promise, I won't go back to way back then 
             G 
'Cause I got tired of that selfish little man 
        Em           A                                     G                      A 
But I'm trying and I hope you understand that it's hard to put that bottle down 
                D          G 
But it's easier that way 
                D          G 
But it's easier that way
