Verse 1:
 
G 
I've always had a bottle I could turn to

But the wine don't take effect the way it used to

And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

Verse 2:
C    G 
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over 
                        D

D 
But tonight you memory found me much to sober 
                                         G 
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let me down

Tonight the barroom let me down
