G       C                D               G 
Tricks, I've pulled some good ones in my time 
    G      C               D                G 
And games, I've played 'em with the best of minds 
Bm                          C 
I filled my pockets full of silver and gold 
     Bm                      C            D 
Then walked out on love when love left me cold 
 
          G        G/F#      Em        D 
Now I'm a man in a bottle, a bottle of tears 
C              C/B        Am          D  
Caught up in a heartache, drowning in fear 
      G        G/F#      Em     D 
I'm a man in a bottle of tears 
  C         D          C  Bm     C         D          G 
I battle my way to the top and I bottle my way to the bottom  
 
 
Fame, I had my friends, I had it all 
And what a shame, there's not a soul that I can call 
They all love me when I'm acting the fool 
But now they look at me like I'm no longer cool 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Oh, I battle my way to the top and I bottle my way to the bottom
