Verse 1:
There's a naked light bulb hangin' ove my head.
Nothin' but a shadow on your side of the bed.
I been talkin' to the walls but we're running out of things to say.
Verse 2:
I don't wanna toss and turn another night.
I need a crowd of people, some neon light.
Smoke so thick you choke, jokes but there hard to take.
Pre-chorus:
It ain't no laughin' matter,
I'll do anything to shake the ache.
Chorus:
When I said goodbye to you,
I broke my own heart in two.
Verse 3:
All I really need to start a new romance,
is tequila and a pretty girl that likes to dance.
And let the good times roll, but I know I'd hit the brake.
Pre-chorus 2:
Just as soon as we get rollin'
Cause I just can't shake the ache.
Solo: D D G D G A
Verse 4:
I opened up the wound and I threw on the salt.
Tried to make you think it was all your fault.
Sorry that I hurt you, the pain is more than I can take.
Verse 5:
Now the clock is tickin' to loud, the foset drips.
On this love foresaken shell of a sinkin' ship.
It's going down in the middle of a big mistake.
Pre-chorus 3:
I been swimmin' round in circles
and I just can't shake the ache.
Chorus2:
When I said goodbye to you,
I broke my own heart in two.
Outro:
Now there's nothing I can do.
I love ya and I need ya
and I just can't shake,
Life's no good without ya girl
I just can't make it.
Sorry that I hurt you
And I just can't shake the ache.
