[Verse 1]
D     D
 Each night I leave the bar room when it's over
                                A
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight your memory found me much too sober
                                           D
I couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

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

[Verse 2]
A
D     D
 I've always had a bottle I could turn to
                                   A
And lately I've been turning every day
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to
                                      D
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way

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

[Outro]
  A                       D
Tonight the bottle let me down
