Chords

[Verse 1]
D
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over

                                                   A
Not feeling any pain at closing time

A
But tonight your memory found me much too sober

                                                                       D
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[Chorus]
D                         
Tonight the bottle let me down

                                            A
and let your memory come around

A
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                                           D
Tonight the bottle let me down 
[Verse 2]
D
I've always had a bottle I could turn to

                                                          A
And lately I've been turning everyday

A                                                       
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to

                                                           D
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
[Chorus]
D                         
Tonight the bottle let me down

                                             A
and let your memory come around

A
The one true friend I thought I'd found

                                     D
Tonight the bottle let me down 

A                                  D
Tonight the bottle let me down
