Don't do it darling don't you dare look in there
             F
You said you didn't want to see me
                                    C
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere
        G7
And you know that you're gonna find me
       F                C
If you keep on drinkin' fast
      Am        G7          Am
Cause honey I'm right there waitin'
              F              C
On you at the bottom of your glass

Here I am here I  am

In the bourbon and the water

That burn you just like a brand

Here I  am

It ain't workin' darling hard as you may try
         F
You keep hearin' the words
                              C
You told me in everyone's goodbye
        G7
And you know that you're just one step
     F                 C
From another one being gone
  Am        G7       Am
I know I've seen 'em all unravel
          F               C
I've been watchin' it all along
F               G7 C
Here I am  here I  am

Verse 4

In every lie you're hearin'

That burn you just like a brand
     G7 C
Here I  am
          Dm    C        F          G7
And honey I got over you passin' me over
  Am   Em   F
A long time ago
       Dm        C             F     G7     E7
And my pride was stronger when I was younger
    Am         G7          F
Now I'd rather have you to know
                G7 C
Here I am  here I  am
        F             C
I still carry a flame for you
G7                F
Burnin' me like a brand
     G7 C
Here I  am
