Tom : Em
Em C
I stood there in the middle of the church of the broken people
Em C
Listening to the walking wounded tell their stories
Em C
My turn came I told them my name I said this aint my first time
G D
And then a man started talking how the devil and the bottle was ruining my life
C
With last night on my breath I stood up and said
[Chorus]
G D
It ain't the whiskey, it aint the cigarettes
Em C
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget
G D
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
Em C
Well it ain't that easy, it ain't the whiskey
Em C
Thats killing me
[Verse]
Em C
So what do you got for this empty spot inside me
Em C
A deep dark hole where love used to be
Em C
Before she ripped it out and ran into the arms of someone else
G D
Yall sit in this room and you talk like you got some kind of remedy
C
Well I hear what you're telling me but I got all the proof I need
[Chorus]
G D
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes
Em C
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I can't forget
G D
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
Em C
Well it ain't that easy, cause it aint the whiskey
Em
Thats killing me
[Instrumental]
Em C Em C G D
[Bridge]

I done everything to drown this hurt inside
C
But I can't wash you off my mind
[Chorus/Outro]
G D
It ain't the whiskey, it ain't the cigarettes
Em C
It ain't the stuff I smoke, its all these things I cant forget
G D
And it ain't the hard time, it ain't the all nights
Em C
Well it ain't that easy, it ain't the whiskey
