           D             D7                          G
Here I sit behind the bottle, like I've done so many times

A7                                                 D
A-drinkin' to my new love, with my old love on my mind

          D               D7                                 G
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place

        A7                                               D
And the bottle holds the memory that a new love can't replace

    D                     D7                        G
The bottle holds the memory of the times we used to share

A7                                                     D
She would not take me back again if I cried a million tears

     D                   D7                           G
So I smile and run my fingers gently on my new love's face

        A7                                           D
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase

          D              D7                            G
She don't realize I'm lonely, she thinks everything is fine

     A7                                                 D
Tell another joke bartender, Lord I'm about to lose my mind

         D                  D7                            G
I'm just goin' thru the motions, Lord I'll never win this race

        A7                                           D
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase

       D                 D7                          G
Here I sit behind this bottle like I've done so many times

A7                                             D
Drinkin' to my new love with my old love on my mind

           D               D7                                G
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place

          A7                                     D
Old Jerry Lee holds the memory that time cannot erase

      A7                                                        D    A7-D
Jerry Lee the Killer's got your memory baby, and time will not erase
