[Verse 1]
        D                  D             D                 D
Well, I don't know why you left me but I do know that your gone,
D              D                D            A          A
over night you turned my life into a sad ol' song.
    D           D              G        G
And one way or another I gotta get over you,
      D                      A              D         D
well, there's only one thing left for me to do.

[Chorus]
        G                    G             D                 D
Lord, I don't wanna die of a broken heart, that would be too sad,
   G            G                  D                        A        A
or drive my car off a cliff, well, that would just hurt too bad.
         D            D                D               G
And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't get my breath,
        D                     A              D        D
well, I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death.

[Verse 2]
        D                    D           D                D
Well, I may get a little bit crazy but I don't wanna go insane,
      D             D                D                 A          A
young women and ole whisky, well, it just may kill the pain.
          D                D            G               G
I'm gonna find the highest barstool and climb up to the top,
  D                         A                D         D
I think I'll just drink and two-step until I drop.

[Chorus]
        G                    G             D                 D
Lord, I don't wanna die of a broken heart, that would be too sad,

or drive my car off a cliff, well, that would just hurt too bad.
         D            D                D               G
And if I tied a rope around my neck, I couldn't get my breath,
        D                     A              D        D
well, I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death.

well, I think I'll just honky-tonk myself to death.
        D                     A              D        D        D
Yeah, I think I'll honky-tonk myself to death.
