| G | D | |
| I'm gonna build a fire in the mid | dle of July, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| Burn your pictures and | go for a drive, |
| G | D | Cadd9 | |
| Down to the river watch the | ink from your love letters f | ade, |
| (verse 2) |
| G | D | |
| Come back home turn that | old mattress over, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| Pour out the whiskey try wa | kin up sober, |
| G | D | Cadd9 | |
| Gonna change it all tonight, gonna | do, what ever it t | akes, |
| (chorus) |
| G | D | |
| Yea cause | I lost weight, I l | ost hair, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| And I d | on't intend to ever | go back there, |
| G | D | Cadd9 | |
| Drinkin and a thinkin bout a | love, that just wasn't t | rue, |
| G | D | |
| And | there's a good chance I'll e | nd up insane, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| Without | enough sense to come in fr | om the rain, |
| G | D | Em7 | - | Cadd9 | |
| My | mind might be the l | ast thing you make me | lose | , |
| G/F# - G - G/F# - G - C = 2x's |
| But I'll forget about you, |
| (verse 3) |
| I heard that old Jones song just the, other day, |
| Bout a man who took that ole broken heart to his grave, |
| But I'll be damned if a memories gonna lay me down, |
| (verse 4) |
| I might be walkin around with a head full of air, |
| Actin kina crazy but I don't care, |
| The heart barely beatin but I'll still be, above the ground, |
| (chorus) |
| G | D | |
| Yea cause | I lost weight, I l | ost hair, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| And I d | on't intend to ever | go back there, |
| G | D | Cadd9 | |
| Drinkin and a thinkin bout a | love, that just wasn't | true, |
| G | D | |
| And | there's a good chance I'll e | nd up insane, |
| Cadd9 | G | |
| Without | enough sense to come in fr | om the rain, |
| G | D | Em7 | - | Cadd9 | |
| My | mind might be the l | ast thing you make me | lose | , |
| G/F# | - | G | - | G/F# | - | G | - | Cadd9 | |
| But I'll forget about y | ou, |
