Chorus 1:
E              B/Eb
  Bottoms up tonight
                   C#m
I drink to you and I
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
comes the rest of my life
E                     B/Eb
  and with this empty glass
                 C#m
I will break the past
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
I can open my eyes
A
  I want this to
B     (hold)   E-B/Eb-C#m-B/Eb- x2
be my awakening


Verse 1:
E
  I give this one to you
          G#m     C#m
an anthem full of truth

I tell you now an epic tail 
   E/G#     A      E
of what you put me through
And even though you don't
            G#m     C#m
deserve one of your own
A melody a song about
    E/G#      A       B
the life that you let go
          A
I can't believe that I
still care enough to write


Chorus 2:
E              B/Eb
  Bottoms up tonight
                   C#m
I drink to you and I
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
comes the rest of my life
E                     B/Eb
  and with this empty glass
                 C#m
I will break the past
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
I can open my eyes
A
  I want this to
B     (hold)   E-B/Eb-C#m-B/Eb-
be my awakening


Verse 2:
E
  Yes I miss you still
             B/Eb   C#m
And probably always will
I'm living with a busted 
           E/G#   A      E
heart that I will have until
E                       B/Eb
  I find the strength I know 
B                     C#m
  its somewhere in my bones
So pull the curtain up again 
    E/G#   A         B
and get on with this show
             A
At least you know that
I still care enough to write


Chorus 3:
E              B/Eb
  Bottoms up tonight
                   C#m
I drink to you and I
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
comes the rest of my life
E                     B/Eb
  and with this empty glass
                 C#m
I will break the past
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
I can open my eyes
A                  B
  And maybe I will see
                 C#m
a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you 
   B/Eb    B          A
at all was only a bad dream
               B
I want this to be my awakening


Bridge:
C#m
   No rest for the
B           A  B
wicked they say
C#m
   Forgive me if
B        A     B
I try to change
C#m
   No rest for the
B           A  B
wicked they say
C#m
   Forgive me if
B        A     B
I try to change


Chorus 4:
E              B/Eb
  Bottoms up tonight
                   C#m
I drink to you and I
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
comes the rest of my life
E                     B/Eb
  and with this empty glass
                 C#m
I will break the past
               B/Eb
cause with the morning
I can open my eyes
A                  B
  And maybe I will see
                 C#m
a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you 
   B/Eb    B          A
at all was only a bad dream
               B     (Hold)   E-B/Eb-C#m-B/Eb- x2
I want this to be my awakening
