Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
G G#dim
[Verse 1]
Am7
I thought there might be a genie
D G
In the bottom of this bottle but there ain't
G#dim
I learned the hard way
Am7
Thought I could click these boots together
D
That'd take me back to better weather
G D/F# Em7
Mm, when I had you and we had everything
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
So I'll just close my eyes
D
And find that sweet escape
[Chorus]
G Bm
To where that neon never turns to dawn
Em7 Dm
House band plays our favorite songs
C G/B Am7
And we always got the dance floor to ourselves
G Bm7
Bartendеrs know us by our names
Em7 Dm
Don't ask or charge us for our drinks
C G/B Am7
Well whiskеy works just like a wishing well
C
There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance
G/B
Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance
Am7 D
I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell
G G#dim
That's my honkytonk fairytale
[Verse 2]
Am
I wish this dusty rug was magic carpet
D
Take me back to where we started
G D/F# Em7
That little bar off of 18th Avenue
Am7
Sometimes I swear I hear you in the wind
D
You say you're coming back again
G D/F# Em7
But it's only ever in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
So I close my eyes
D
And chase the light
[Chorus]
G Bm
To where that neon never turns to dawn
Em7 Dm
House band plays our favorite songs
C G/B Am7
And we always got the dance floor to ourselves
G Bm7
Bartendеrs know us by our names
Em7 Dm
Don't ask or charge us for our drinks
C G/B Am7
Well whiskеy works just like a wishing well
C
There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance
G/B
Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance
Am7 D
I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell
G
That's my honkytonk fairytale
[Interlude]
Bm7 Em Dm C G/B Am G/B
[Bridge]
C
If I drink all this bourbon
Bm7
It'll either stop the hurting
Am7 D
Or I'll get to stay forever there this time
[Chorus]
G Bm
Where that neon never turns to dawn
Em7 Dm
House band plays our favorite songs
C G/B Am7
And we always got the dance floor to ourselves
G Bm7
Bartendеrs know us by our names
Em7 Dm
Don't ask or charge us for our drinks
C G/B Am7
Well whiskеy works just like a wishing well
C
There ain't no last calls, ain't no last dance
G/B
Ain't no goodbyes, ain't no chance
Am7 D
I'll have to come back to this heartbroke lonely hell
G
That's my honkytonk fairytale
[Outro]
C G D G
Mm, my honkytonk fairytale
