[D]
There's a devil in a bottle
Staring straight at me
Daring me to reach out
But I know he's testing [A] me
[G] If I take just one sip
I'll become that devil's [D] son
I act a fool
To sell my soul
I've forgotten everyone [A] Oh lord
I [G] know I only hurt the [D] ones I [Dm] love
[D]
[Dm] [D]
I'm walking down the [Dm] steadying road all alone and [D] by myself.
Wish I could claim the [Dm] whiskey, [D] but I can only blame myself.
[G] I'm running out of chances, and Lord, that's such a crime.
[D] I've got to find the answer, or I'll lose my mind.
[A] Oh Lord, it's [G] a crying shame.
[A] Oh Lord, I've caused so much [G] pain.
I only [F] hurt the [D] ones I [Dm] love.
[D]
[G] There's a devil in the bottle, he just won't let me be.
[D] So many times [Dm] I've let him hurt my soul and family,
[D]
[G] but I got free on the [A] day I fought the devil [Dm] in the bottle.

Next time that old devil tries to get the best of me,
I'll smash that bottle against the wall and know I'm finally free.
[G] There's a devil in the bottle, he just won't let me be.
[D] So [Dm] many times I've let him hurt me.
