verse 1  
G                                D 
I'm gonna build a fire in the middle 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 fade, 
 
 verse 2  
G                        D 
Come back home turn that old mattress over, 
Cadd9                      G 
Pour out the whiskey try wakin up sober, 
G                                  D                 Cadd9 
Gonna change it all tonight, gonna do, what ever it takes, 
 
 chorus  
          G                 D 
Yea cause I lost weight, I lost hair, 
       Cadd9               G 
And I don'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 end up insane, 
        Cadd9                     G 
Without enough sense to come in from the rain, 
   G                  D                     Em7 - Cadd9 
My mind might be the last thing you make me lose, 
                       G/F#   G   G/F#   G   C   
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 lost hair,

And I don'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 end up insane, 
        Cadd9                     G 
Without enough sense to come in from the rain, 
   G                  D                     Em7   Cadd9 
My mind might be the last thing you make me lose,

But I'll forget about you, 
 
  
         G                 D 
Cause I lost sleep and I lost years, 
         Cadd9               G 
And there ain't no tellin how many tears, 
G                     D                      Em7   Cadd9 
My mind gonna be the last thing you make me lose,

                   G/F#   G   G/F#   G   Cadd9  
I'll forget about you,
