[Intro 1]
[E5]

[Verse 1]
[G5]At the bottom of the first drink[E5]
[G]I fou[B5]nd my ner[E5]ve.
[G5]At the b[E5]ottom of the next one
[B5]I me[F#5]t my girl.[B5][E5][G5]
At [Bm]the bottom of the third [G]drink
[E5]I found [C5]a forth
[C]And a[G]t the [Bm]bottom of that one[B5]
[G]Was a Trojan[B5] hor[E5]se[G5]
[Bm]That carried [F#5]in dem[E5]ons[G5]
[F#5]Who brought their [E5]brides
[G5]And they[G] tempted d[F#5]arkness[E5]
[G]Where I l[B5]ost my [F#5]mind.[E5][D]
Well [Bm]the fifth drink found [E5]it
[D]An d [Bm]carried it [E5]home
[D]Where my [Bm]girl was [E5]waiting
[D]One foo[Bm]t out[E5] the doo[G]r.
[Bm]Another

[Verse 2]
[E5]night [G]spent
gathering [E5]dust.[G][Bm]
Mug [E5]shot [G]of a [F#5]marble
[D#]bust[E5].[G][Bm]
Ruina[G]tion leaves the lantern lit
[E5]So I[G] know [Bm]where the
[E5]good [G]lov[F#]in' [F#5]is.[E5]

[Verse 3]
I used to be a goddam [Bm]saint.
I [A#]said my prayers and I
handled [A#5]snakes
[G5]Until the [G]road introduced me to [E5]sin.
I only [D#]shook hands with drink
but he had his friends with him.
[E5]I curse the day we raised our glass
[A#]Up like a bridge to let the Devil pa[A#5]ss
[G5]Because he ain't never left this town
And only [D#]beaten and unborn
are living with him now.
[E5]I used to be a holy [A#]man.[F#]
[G]"Once put an onion in a [D#]beggars hand".
[E5]But now I'd rather not b[A#]elieve.
[F#]How could a man [G]I've never
met be [E5]so cr[D#]uel to me?
[E5]At least

[Verse 4]
[Bm]I'm [A#5]in goo[F#5]d comp[G]any.[E5]
[D#]At l[E5]east I'm in[Bm] good[A#5] compa[G]ny.[E5]
[D#]I'll[E5] drink to th[Bm]at.[A#][G5][E5]
[D#]I'll [E5]drink [Bm]to th[A#]at.[G5][G]

[Verse 5]
Dash [E5]the cup,
Fifteen years has been [E]long [E5]enou[E]gh.
[E5]Put the child [G]in an
[E5]unmarked [E]gra[E5]ve[E]
And burn [D#]the b[E]lack book,
Page by [E5]page.[G][E]

[Verse 6]
Go [E]alone,
[E]There is your [D#]road.
[G]For onc[Bm]e, I'm[E5] awak[D#]e
[B]And I[D#] will not[G] serve mad[Bm] ness[E5].
[D#]For [Bm]once, [B]I'm [G]awake[E5][D#]
[B]And [F#dim]I will not ser[G]ve
mad[E]ness.

[Verse 7]
[G]'Cause I am not [E5]the [G]company I [E5]keep,
[G]I am not t[E5]he c[G]ompany I k[E5]eep.[G][E5]
[G]I am not t[E5]he c[G]ompany I k[E]eep.[E5]
[G]I am n[E5]ot the c[G]ompany I k[E5]eep.[E]

[Verse 8]
Dash the cup,
Fifteen years has been long enough.
Put the child in an unmarked grave
And burn the black book,

[Outro 1]
