(her) The ru- mors flew
Like the burn-ing end of a
But no bo-dy knew how
Mid- night ci- ga- rette
much she blamed her- self
She broke his heart
For years and years
He spent his whole life
She tried to hide the
Try-ing to for- get
We watched him drink his pain a-way
She final- ly drank her pain a-way
A lit-tle at a time
A lit-tle at a time
But he ne-ver could get drunk e-nough
But she ne-ver could get drunk e-nough
To get her off his mind
To get him off her mind
Un- til the night
He put that bot-tle to his head
She put that bot-tle to her head
And pulled the trig-ger
And pulled the trig-ger
He fin-ally drank a-way her me- mo-ry
And fin-ally drank a-way his me- mo-ry
Life is short
Life is short
But this time it was big-ger
But this time it was big-ger
Than the strength he had
Than the strength she had
To get up off his knees
We found him with his
We found her with her
Face down in the pil-low
Face down in the pil-low
With a note that says
Cling-ing to his pic-ture
I'll love her till I die
for dear life
And when we bur-ied him
We laid her next to him
Be-neath the wil-low
Be-neath the wil-low
The an-gels sang
While the an-gels sang
A whis-key lul-la-by
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
