Gotta reach up for my bottle

cause my woman done left my side.

Another drink here from my bottle
A5
cause my, woman done left my side.

It's been long years we've been fighting

I don't care Lord, leave me here to die.

I thought you were my friend

You said I was a strong man
A5
and I thought I had a friend.

it destroyed us in the end.


BRIDGE

D5
I tried for years to put it down
A5
but my efforts were in vain.

All my nights I suffered blackouts
A5
crazy fights and nightmare dreams.
D5
There comes a time we all must face
A5
do we sink or do we swim.

Digging deep to find my courage
E5
or fall down, giving in.
