We [C] had a date, I [E7] stayed out late, I [F] bought round after [C] round
And [D7] just for you I [D7] played the fool -
Yes [G7] I was quite the [G7] clown
[C] Words were spoken, [E7] hearts were broken,
but [F] now I hope you [C] see
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
{c: }
I [C] didn't mean to [E7] make a scene, it's [F] really not my [C] style
I [D7] raised some Cain and [D7] called some names,
I [G7] got a little [G7] wild
If I [C] brag too loud and [E7] act too proud, don't [F] blame it all on [C] me
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
{c: }
I [E] had myself a [E] little splash, I [A] said "You no good [A] piece of trash"
[D] Shut my mouth all [D] through the night,
[G] Lord, my bark's bigger [G] than my bite
{c: }
If [C] lies were told, if [E7] I was bold, don't [F] take it personal[C]ly
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
But [C] all that stuff is [E7] just a bluff, I [F] wouldn't hurt a [C] flea
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
{c: }
[E] At the bar I [E] bucked and roared, I [A] picked a fight and [A] I got floored
I [D] had a shot, got [D] plumb insane, took [G] everybody's [G] name in vain
{c: }
The [C] devil makes me [E7] do some things, it [F] takes a lot of [C] nerve
How [D7] could I sass , a [D7] girl like you, you're [G7] more than I [G7] deserve
Don't you [C] get upset , and [E7] please accept [F] my apolo[C]gy
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
{c: }
[E] Ended up with some [E] more moonshine, my [A] mouth was workin' [A] overtime
[D] Just let off a [D] little steam, I [G] ain't the killer [G] that I seem
{c: }
Some[C]times I'm strange but [E7] I might change, you [F] got my guarantee
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
It was the [C] whiskey [G7] talkin', not [C] me [C]
