The Bottle Let Me Down

[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
         A                            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
