Tonight....there's a bottle on this table 
   E               E7     A  A7 
I swear...it won?t let me be.  
     D                        A 
And tonight...well I won't be able

To control...what that bottle says to me.

Lord knows....how hard I've tried

And tonight...here at this table 
     E            E7          A     A7 
I'll drink...your memory good-night

And these nights...have been so lonely 
        B              B7               E    E7 
But the whisky...helps ease my troubled mind 
       D                                 A    
And to-night...there's..a bottle on this table

Just waiting...for me.. to crawl inside.
