Bm                     A 
Girl you're getting over him and I'm getting over her 
G                     D 
The eyes have it made  ain't gotta say a word

Misery loves company  that's why it's you and me

Buying each other drinks

Back at the bar  thick as thieves 
Em 
    Stealing these little sips 
G 
Doing our best to make the best of the worst of it

Keep playing them songs  keep singing along 
                 D 
Keep leaning it on in closer 
Bm                A                     G             
Keep salting the rim  getting even with her 
                      D 
and with him before the night is over 
Bm                         A 
That first kiss was like a Colorado hit 
       G                 D 
better keep on keeping it lit

G           D 
Nobody's ex texting for a rewind 
Em                   
    Looks like it's just me and you

Falling in love just enough to get us through 
 
What we're getting through
