[Verse 1]
D
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
A D
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
A
The one true friend I thought I'd found
D
Tonight the bottle let me down
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D
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
[Chorus]
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
[Tag]
A D
Tonight the bottle let me down
