G D G D [Verse 1]
Bm
 Love is a mystery

D
 It's a tricky thing

Bm
 It's more than a word

D
 More than a ring

Em                    Bm
 When the right thing turns to wrong

Em            Bm
 Turns into a lonesome song

Em             Bm                        A
 And everybody knows how it goes when it does
[Chorus]
    G
The bottle holds the whiskey

G
The whiskey holds the man

    D                               
The man holds the bottle when it's all that's left

        G
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds

    D                 
The smoke can't hide what the heart regrets

           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory

        A
And the memory holds thе past

        Bm
And the past holds the woman

       G
At the bottom of thе glass

                     D
So I don't have a problem

                     A
If I don't see the bottom

[Verse 2]
Bm
 I played it all over

D
 Over in my mind

Bm
 I'm lookin' for the reasons

D
 I just can't find

Em                Bm
 Wish I knew what I could blame

Em                Bm
 Without a moment I could name

Em              Bm             A
 I don't have a thing that I recall
[Chorus]
    G
The bottle holds the whiskey

G
The whiskey holds the man

    D                    
The man holds the bottle when it's all that's left

        G
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds

    D                 
The smoke can't hide what the heart regrets

           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory

        A
And the memory holds thе past

        Bm
And the past holds the woman

       G
At the bottom of thе glass

                     D
So I don't have a problem

                     A
If I don't see the bottom

[Chorus]
           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory

And the memory holds the past

        Bm
And the past holds the woman

       G
At the bottom of the glass

                     D
So I don't have a problem

                     A
If I don't see the bottom

        G
Oh, the hurt's holdin' me

    A
And I'm holdin' on

     Bm
To a hundred-proof truth

      G
And a hope that's long gone

                     D
So I don't have a problem

                     A
If I don't see the bottom
