Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
I feel a minute pain at closing [A] time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my [D] mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory [A] come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle [D] let me down
[Bm] [A]
[D]
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lady I've been turning [A] every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar [D] way
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory [Bm] [A] come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let [D] me down
[A] Tonight the bottle [D] let me down

Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
I feel a minute pain at closing [A] time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my [D] mind
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory [A] come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle [D] let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lady I've been turning [A] every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar [D] way
Tonight the bottle let me down
And let your memory [Bm] [A] come around
The one true friend I thought I'd found
Tonight the bottle let [D] me down
