{Intro}   D5 

          D5 
1.I was heading for the bus 
      G5 
  And another one night stand 
   D5 
  He came up all starry eyed  
           A5 
  With my picture in his hand 
     D5 
  He said "Mister I know by heart 
  G5 
  Every song you do 
    D5 
  When I grow up I want to sing 
       A5 
  And be just like you" 
 
2.Then he asked me how I wrote those songs 

  Where do the words come from 

  I fumbled for an answer 

  But I could not think of one 

  Then I shook his hand as the driver said 

  "Load up it's time to leave" 

  And then on the bus I scribbled down  

  These thoughts that came to me 
 

  G5                       A5        D5 
C.I'm just a bottle that pours the wine 
     D5                  G5          A5 
  A fragile vessel for melody and rhyme 
   D5                         G5                    D5 
  Put me on a pedastal I'll fall and shatter every time 
                            A5 
  'Cause I'm just the bottle that pours the wine         
 
3.Tonight we play another show 

  Down in San Antone 

  For all the folks that come to hear 

  I'll sing a brand new song 

  It'll tell you where I'm comin' from 

  More than anything 

  And I'm gonna give it all I've got 

  When I stand up there and sing 
 
C.
