 Am             E               F                      C 
Slammin' doors, pedals floored, nothin' but tail light red 
Am         E            F                   C 
On repeat, losin' sleep every night in this bed 
    Am                         E 
Now you're a couple drinks in, two in the a.m. 
F                             C 
Sayin' we should patch things up 
   Am                     E 
Forget about the leavin', kiss and call it even 
F                            C 
I know what you're thinkin', but 
 

 
              Am          E 
I'd rather be lonely (Oh, oh-oh-oh) 
               F               C 
Sittin' at the end of an empty bar 
                Am                    E 
Both hands on a cold drink, yeah (Oh, oh-oh-oh) 
             F                C 
Lettin' that jukebox break my heart 
                Am             E 
Yeah baby, just me, myself and Jack 
           F                    C 
Ain't that hard not wantin' you back 
                     Am        E 
Even if you were the only (Oh, oh-oh-oh) 
              F              C              Am 
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be lonely 
 

 
Am          E                  F              C

Am               E                     F                  C 
Go through life, livin' just like I'll never find someone else 
Am                         E 
Love ain't a light switch, can't turn it off 
     F                          C 
Then try and turn it right back on 
Am                 E 
Baby, a goodbye is only good one time 
F                      C 
Even if the love ain't gone
