And let your memory come a round
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                          F
Tonight the bottle let me down

     F
Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
                                C
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober 
                                           F
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

   F
To night the bottle let me down
                           C
And let your memory come a round
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                          F
Tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to
                                   C
And lately I've been turnin' every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to 
                                   F
And I'm hurtin' in an old familiar way

       F
And to night the bottle let me down
                           C
And let your memory come a round
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                          F
Tonight the bottle let me down

To night the bottle let me down
