C#                     A#m
I don't like pointing fingers
                     F#
But girl you're the reason
                   C#
That brown bottle keeps comig off the shelf
                      A#m
Might be holding the shot glass
               F#
Or paying the bar tab
                 C#
But this broken heart didn't break itself
                      A#m                 F#
They say I ain't the same guy you knew before
        C#               F#
I don't even know me no more

Chorus:
                   A#m
I've been off the deep end
                 F#
Staying off the main roads
                C#
Ducking out of parties
If I ain't a no show
                    A#m
I've been shooting ninety
                F#
In between the longnecks
               C#
Putting you behind me's
Got me in a train wreck
           A#m
Throw the flame around
        F#
Run my name down
       C#
Right now I kinda hate me to
      A#m          F#               A#m F# C#
But I am the way I am because of you

I don't wanna be crazy but, darlin', you make me
Keep goin' back on the movin' on
Scrollin' through memories in-between gettin' gone
And I ain't the same since you did me wrong

Chorus:
                          A#m
'Cause I've been off the deep end
                 F#
Staying off the main roads
                C#
Ducking out of parties
If I ain't a no show
                     A#m
I've been shooting ninety
                F#
In between the longnecks
               C#
Putting you behind me's
Got me in a train wreck
           A#m
Throw the flame around
        F#
Run my name down
       C#
Right now I kinda hate me to
      A#m          F#            A#m
But I am the way I am because of you

 G#                                           F#
You've been telling this whole town half the truth
                                    G#
Saying I changed up, right out the blue
But baby that ain't right
             F#
I ain't the same guy
But if they knew I

Chorus:
I been off the deep end, stayin' off the main roads
Duckin' outta parties if I ain't a no-show
I been shootin' ninety in-between them longnecks
Puttin' you behind me's got me in a train wreck
Throw the blame around, run my name down
Tell the whole town half of the truth
But I am the way I am because of you

But I am the way I am because of you
(Throw the blame around, write my name down)
(Right now, I kinda hate me too)
