Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Man I hate you found me here
With whiskey on my breath
I know I should be ashamed
So much for those twelve steps
He said "No my son, I know you're doing your best
With all you've been through, Hey I understand
I only came in here to be your friend
You know she still asks about you
And wonders how you're doing and where you've been
(Chorus 1)
Tell her I'm in Tampa on the causeway,
Watching the waves roll in
Tell her I'm in Aspen, in a cabin,
Finding myself again
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
Better than I've ever been
Just don't tell her that you saw me
Drowning in this bottle
Trying to make her disappear
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
Break
(Verse 2...same chords as verse 1)
It would only break her heart if she knew the truth
You see I told her when she left, this is the last thing I would do
Tomorrow, I swear I'm starting over again
I've made it this far and I know how it ends
But she doesn't have to find out where I am
So if you see or hear from her again
(chorus 2...same chords as chorus 1)
Tell her I'm in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Selling cars five days a week
Tell her I'm in Mobile Alabama
Getting back on my feet
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
Looking better than you've ever seen
Just don't tell her that you saw me drowning in this bottle
Trying to make her disappear
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
Tell her that I'm happy and I've moved on
But let her know that I still care
Tell her I'm anywhere, anywhere but here
