{Intro}   D 

          D 
1.I was heading for the bus 
      G 
  And another one night stand 
   D 
  He came up all starry eyed  
           A 
  With my picture in his hand 
     D 
  He said "Mister I know by heart 
  G 
  Every song you do 
    D 
  When I grow up I want to sing 
       A 
  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 
 

  G                       A        D 
C.I'm just a bottle that pours the wine 
     D                  G          A 
  A fragile vessel for melody and rhyme 
   D                         G                    D 
  Put me on a pedastal I'll fall and shatter every time 
                            A 
  '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.
