Each night I leave the barroom when it's over 
                                                   A 
Not feeling any pain at closing time 
A 
But tonight your memory found me much too sober 
                                                                       D 
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
[Refrão]

Tonight the bottle let me down 
                                            A 
and let your memory come around 
A 
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                                           D 
Tonight the bottle let me down

I've always had a bottle I could turn to 
                                                          A 
And lately I've been turning everyday 
A 
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to 
                                                           D 
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
[Refrão]
D 
Tonight the bottle let me down 
                                             A 
and let your memory come around 
A 
The one true friend I thought I'd found 
                                     D 
Tonight the bottle let me down  
A                                  D 
Tonight the bottle let me down
