[Verse 1]
             
She put him ou

             
t like the bur

              
nin' end of a 

             
midnight cigar


ette
             
She broke his 

             
heart he spent

              
 his whole lif

           
e tryin' to fo

rget
             
We watched him

             
 drink his pai

             
n away a littl

      
e at a time
             
But he never c

              
ould get drunk

            
 enough to get

            
 her off his m

Until the nigh

the trigger
            
And finally dr

            
ank away her m

emory
             
Life is short 

             
but this time 

       
it was bigger
            
Than the stren

              
gth he had to 

             
get up off his

 
 knees
             
We found him w

              
ith his face d

          
own in the pil

low
            
With a note th

              
at said I'll l

The rumors fle

             
w but nobody k

             
new how much s

         
he blamed hers

elf
             
For years and 

              
years she trie

             
d to hide the

She finally dr

             
ank her pain a

t a time
             
But she never

I needed to change this to a key that better fit my voice. Then added some cord changes 
in the original that I was using. This sounds right to me, but I am new at this, so if 
has any additional suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them. Bubba55
