Drinking to Forget Whatshername. 3rd rewrite
v I tried to build bridges, she just built a wall
the kind I couldn’t, get over, she built it so tall
She turned our sweet wine love, in-to whiskey sour
I'm down on the ground,she's in her ivory tower
c
So I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
THE one who, put me thru, all this heartache—and pain
Never, want to hear, her name again
I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
v
You’ve all heard my story, an end of love’s cliche’
now she’s in someone’s else’s arms, he took her away
Like a sad country song, needs a haunting guitar
this lonely guy needs solace, alone here at the bar
c
So I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
the one who, put me thru, all this heartache—and pain
Never, want to hear, her name again
I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
b Drunk or fool? Talking, to myself, on a stool
(I’m) aiming- to stay here, ‘til I can't recall, why I came
drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
c
So I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
the one who, put me thru, all this heartache—and pain
Never, want to hear, her name again
I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
Ohhhh, I’m drinking, to forget, what’s-her-name
