verse 1 
                    Em 
It gets lonliest at night Down at 
            D                 C                     G 
the liquor store beneath the neon sky Our moonlight 
                                Em 
6 AM the floor comes alive with lice The pan's 
            D                   C 
dried up so tight With hardened beans 
            G D/F#     Em 
We're hungry      So I lean on 
        D             C 
you sometimes Just to see you're still there 

verse 2 
G 
But these feet can't take the weight of 
Em            D          C 
one Much less two We hit concrete 
Em          D              C 
How were we born into this mess? 
G        Am            G/B      C 
I know I painted you a prettier picture baby 
Em          D            C 
But we were run out on a rail 
G             Am           G/B   C 
Fell from the wagon to the night train 

Chorus 
G              C   G 
I kissed the bottle I should've been 
        C  G 
kissing you You wake up to an 
C          G               C 
empty night With tears for two 
              G 
tears for two 


verse 3 
G                        Em 
Cigarettes they fill the gaps 
             D                  C 
In our empty days In our broken teeth we're jonesing 
G                          Em 
Say mister can you spare a dime? 
                         D                     C 
Some change could make a change could buy some time 
     G      D/F#       D 
Some freedom     Or an ear to 
         C 
hear my story It's all I've got My fiction- 

verse 4 
G                         Em 
-beats the hell out of my truth 
                      D                  C 
A palm upturned burnt blue Don't call it sunburn 
Em          D              C 
You've been shaking on the job Just 
G    Am         G/B     C 
one drink ahead of your past 
Em         D                  C 
There's a white light coming up 
G              Am          G/B     C 
You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass 

Chorus 
G              C   G 
I kissed the bottle I should've been 
        C  G 
kissing you You wake up to an 
C          G               C 
empty night With tears for two 
G              C   G 
I kissed the bottle I should've been 
        C  G 
kissing you You wake up to an 
C          G               C 
empty night With tears for two 
          G 
Tears for two
