G                  D                       Em  C
I've lost count of, who's still cursin' my name
G                        D
Don't you waste your time, 'cause
                 Em  C
I'm probably to blame
G                 D
Well I know how, easy it is to,
Em                      C
give up on someone like me
G                    D
So forgive me if I'm, coming off rude,
            Em                C
but it's the, only way I can be

Chorus:
D                 Em        D               C
Well as desperation, falls right off of my tongue
     Em             D          C
I'm begging not to be the only one
  Em                 D          C
Please don't let me be the only one
         Cm                  G
The only one, that everyone leaves

Wise men say, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em"
Well, I had a shot at love,
but chose the bottle and I lost him
I bet that even devil gets lonely,
that's why he's in such a bad mood
But I ain't got, ain't got no one to hold me
That's why I've been such a mean ol' fool

Well, as desperation falls right off of my tongue
I'm begging not to be the only one
Please don't let me be the only one

Chorus

That everyone leaves
