[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
                            G
Do think about me since I'm gone
                              D
Is that why you cant stop drinking
                       Am
Is that why you're sinking
            C                    G
Did my leaving get the best of you
 
[Verse]
                                    G
Have you heard what i've been writing
                                  D
I hope you dont know its about you
                          Am
cuz all my time without you
                C                                G
has got me sinking down to the depths of my dispair
 
[Chorus]
        G7             C                  D
Are you dancing with another lonely drifter
               G     Dadd4/F#  Em
Or are you spinning on your own
C
Did you take his hand and promise
D
He could be your man
             G               Dadd4/F#           Em
Or did you turn him down and just make your way home
C
Tell me pretty lies until
D
That morning sun does rise
        G            Dadd4/F#           Em
When I see you in a different light of day
C                                       D                  G
But the only light right now is in your eyes I want you to stay
 
[Verse]
                                       G
Most times you dont seem worth the trouble
                                      D
But when we're out its like my dreaming
                      Am
Always having trouble breathing
                     C            Dadd4/F#    G
Baby youre the reason you take my breath away
 
[Verse]
                          G
And if you ever do forgive me
                             D
Show the world that you're a star
                               Am
But you just love me when youre lonely
                             C
And act like you don't know me
                               G
Until the light turns into dark
 
[Chorus]
        G7             C                  D
Are you dancing with another lonely drifter
               G     Dadd4/F#  Em
Or are you spinning on your own
C
Did you take his hand and promise
D
He could be your man
             G               Dadd4/F#           Em
Or did you turn him down and just make your way home
C
Tell me pretty lies until
D
That morning sun does rise
        G            Dadd4/F#           Em
When I see you in a different light of day
C                                       D                  G
But the only light right now is in your eyes I want you to stay

I believe the chorus says lonely drifter not only drinker

Does anyone have a good strumming pattern? I cant figure one out😅

In the 4th Verse he says 'You only f*ck me when you're lonely'. At least in the live version.
