Verse 1
C F C
Brown liquor in black coffee puts my headache off for now
C F G
The hurt last night put on me still spinning me around
F Am G F
And now that I’ve a smoke, even though I can hardly breathe
C G F C
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
(Verse-2)
C F C
Another night of bad decisions, there’s one still laying in my bed
C F G
The bastard in me wishes that he’d’ve woke up first and left
F Am G F
And you’d think a girl on fire would stay away from gasoline
C G F C
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
(Chorus)
F Bb F C
Oh the last thing I need is to need you like I do
F Bb F G
And the first thing I reach for is anything but you
F Bb F Am G F
If I can keep away the lonely for a moment, well that’s good enough for me
C G F C
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
(Chorus)
F Bb F Am G F
If I can keep away the lonely for a moment, well that’s good enough for me
C G F C
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
C G F C
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
Lyrics
Brown liquor and black coffee
Puts my headache off for now
The hurt last night put on me
Still spinnin’ me around
And now that I’ve a smoke
Even though I can hardly breathe
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
Puts my headache off for now
The hurt last night put on me
Still spinnin’ me around
And now that I’ve a smoke
Even though I can hardly breathe
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
Another night of bad decisions
There’s one still layin’ in my bed
The bastard in me wishes
He done woke up first and left
And you’d think a girl on fire
Would stay away from gasoline
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
There’s one still layin’ in my bed
The bastard in me wishes
He done woke up first and left
And you’d think a girl on fire
Would stay away from gasoline
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
Oh, the last thing I need is to need you like I do
And the first thing I reach for is anything but you
If I can keep away the lonely for a moment
Well, that’s good enough for me
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
And the first thing I reach for is anything but you
If I can keep away the lonely for a moment
Well, that’s good enough for me
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
