Broken Whiskey Glass by Jason And The Scorchers
Broken Whiskey Glass
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
E
You crossed a valley that was steeped in blood
E
My virgin pain was simply not enough
E
To satisfy the one thing in life that you still desire
E
A dress of lace and a pint of gin
E B A E
A little heaven in a needle full of sin
F#m
And do the sights you remember
C#m D B
Scare you less than the sights you left unseen
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
But I can't go on living in your broken whiskey glass
C#m B A
Someday you'll find an epitaph that reads
E D C#m
"Here lies Jason: strangled by a love
E
That wouldn't breathe"
D C#m7
strangled by a love
C
That wouldn't breathe
[Verse 2]
C E B
You went to church in your party dress
A E
Tryin' to live those blues that you read
C# E B E
From a rock n' roll magazine so neat and clean
E B
I tried to fight through that emptiness
A E
I feel every time you undress
F# C#m
'Cause your Playgirl heroes fade away
D B
When the morning ray shines down
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
'Cause I can't go on living in your broken whiskey glass
C#m B A
Someday you'll find an epitaph that reads
E D C#m
"Here lies Jason: strangled by a love
E
That wouldn't breathe"
D C#m7
strangled by a love
C
That wouldn't breathe
[Verse 3]
C E B
You went to Memphis to find yourself
A E
Read every Elvis book on the shelf
C# E B E
Even popped a pill or two to feel like a honky-tonk star
B
But the river didn't seem so wide
A E
'Cause you were looking out but not inside
F# C#m
White soul heroes can't escape
D B
Legend's trashy dreams
[Chorus]
C#m B A E
And I can't go on living in your broken whiskey glass
C#m B A
Someday you'll find an epitaph that reads
E D C#m
"Here lies Jason: strangled by a love
E
That wouldn't breathe"
D C#m7
strangled by a love
C
That wouldn't breathe
