Intro
D7        G

Verse 1
G                       D7
Standing in the tavern, feeling blue
   D7                       G
My foot on the rail, just a-thinking 'bout you
      C
But I won't be blue all day
          G    C C# D7                    G
Because relief...      is just a swallow away

Verse 2
                G                         D7
Well, I've been blue before, I guess I'll be blue again
         D7                           G
But I'll drown all my worries or I'll teach 'em how to swim
        C
I won't be the one to pay
          G    C C# D7                    G   G7
Because relief...      is just a swallow away

          C                                  G
Guess you thought, when you left, I wouldn't have any fun
       D7                       G        G7
I'll admit I was worried, but I won't be long
       C                                     G
We're apart because you wouldn't swallow your foolish pride
         A7             D7
See, you hurt me deep inside

Verse 3
           G                                D7
But you're not the first to hurt me and you won't be the last
  D7                             G
I can't tell the future but I've learned from the past
          C
As long as there's a cabaret
         G    C C# D7                    G
I know relief...      is just a swallow away

Bridge
        C                      G
Well, I look down the bar, and what do I see?
D7                      G       G7
Your sad face a-looking back at me
C                             G
Wishing you could turn time a few hours back
        A7               D7
And get off that one-way track

Verse 4
          G                             D7
Well, you want me to come over and I'll tell you true
D7                       G
You're as close to me as I am to you
            C
And that may still be too far away
          G    C C# D7                    G
Because relief...      is just a swallow away
