From the Bottle to the Bottom Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You ask me if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I've [D]heard
It seems that since I've seen
you last
I done forgot the meaning of the [G]words
If happiness is empty rooms
and drinkin' in the afternoon
Well, I suppose I'm happy as a [C]clam
But [D]if it's got a thing to do with
smilin' or forgettin' you
Well, I don't guess
that I could say I [G]am

[Verse 2]
Did you ever see a down [G]and outer
waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep
him from the [D]dew?
When the water from the weeds
has soaked the papers
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the
ground from comin' [G]through
And his future feels as empty as
the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen
a single dream come [C]true
That's the [D]way that I've been feelin'
since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom
stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with
losin' [G]you
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]
You wonder if I'm better off
With freedom now to do the
things I [D]choose
Well, all my times my own and
I got nothin' left but sleepin'
time to [G]lose
There's no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tankerous damn if I don't [C]call
I'm [D]livin' like I wanted to
And doin' things I want to do
And nothin' means a thing to me [G]at all

[Verse 4]
Did you ever see a down [G]and outer
waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep
him from the [D]dew?
When the water from the weeds
has soaked the papers
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the
ground from comin' [G]through
And his future feels as empty as
the pockets in his pants
Because he's never seen
a single dream come [C]true
That's the [D]way that I've been feelin'
since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom
stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' [G]you
[D][G]
