[G] Yeah, I'm a really awful person.
[C] I get all nervous [F] when I'm [D] doing filming stuff.
Alright, this one's called Back on the Bottle, and it's a song I wrote
kind of from the perspective of someone I used to know about
struggling with alcoholism, so
it's not really about me.
That's why it's from a man's perspective.
So let's go.
Ready?
[G] [A]
[G] [D] Well last night I got so drunk I [G] don't know what I did
[A] Well it got so [G] bad my woman [D] ran off and hid
And each time somebody told me [G] I'd had more than enough
I [A] just said fuck it [G] and poured [D] myself one more glass
So [G] get me out of this place [D] I've been here way too long
[A] And I need to [G] find something [D] else, get my head back on
[G] Well I try and try but I just can't [D] drown my sorrow
I'll [A] be alone [G] when the sun [D] comes up tomorrow
[G]
[A] [D] Well I caught a ride by a famous [G] high-pass at 3am
[A] Because I knew that woman [G] would want to take me [D] back again
Oh [G] I just can't help the state [D] that I'm in
[A] But I know a [G] loveless will always [D] understand
[G]
[D] Why [A] I am back [G] on the bottle [D] again
[G]
Well [D] [A]
[G] [D] when I woke up this morning my [G] head hurt so damn bad
And [A] I kept searching [G] for the reason I [D] felt so sad
[G] And when I couldn't find it I [D] knew it was locked in me
And [A] when I couldn't [G] make it I'm [D] down to three
And [G] I know that someday soon I'm gonna [D] have to change
But [A] you've gotta understand [G] that it's easier [D] said than done
[G]
[A] [D] [G] So get me back to the bar I've [D] been home way too long
[A] And I need to [G] find the bottle [D] that'll get my head back on
[G] Well no matter what I cannot [D] shake this sorrow
And I [A] know I'll be drunk [G] when the sun comes up [D] tomorrow
[C] I get all nervous [F] when I'm [D] doing filming stuff.
