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
