The Bottle

[D]    [D/F#]    [G]

 [D]  I just cracked the  [D/F#]  top on some  [G]  Jim Beam I just bought.
Took a  [D]  big ol' swig an'  [A]  I just set her  [D]  down.
It's a foolish thing to  [D/F#]  think, that you could  [G]  kill the hurt with drink,
But it's the  [D]  only thing that  [A]  I can think of  [D]  now.   [D/C#]
 [Bm]  Got her down to the top  [A]  of the st [G] icker:
I  [Em7]  wish this stuff would kick in a little  [A]  quicker.

   [D]  I can still see us on that  [D/F#]  tiltawhirl, spinnin'.
  Cotton  [G]  candy in the wind she had  [A]  mustard on her chin,
  From that  [D]  corn-dog that slipped right  [D/F#]  off of the stick,
  And that  [G]  top of the Ferriss wheel  [A]  kiss.
  I  [Em7]  ain't forgot [A] [D/F#] bout that  [G]  yet,
  But I  [Em7]  still have some  [A]  whiskey  [D]  left.

 [D]  Sure thought I'd be  [D/F#]  able, once I  [G]  reached the middle of the label,
That  [D]  some of those memories would  [A]  somehow wash a [D] way.
Now I'm pushin' toward the  [D/F#]  bottom, and thoughts of  [G]  her, yeah, I still got 'em.
Those  [D]  shots, I've shot 'em, but they  [A]  ain't killed yester [D] day. ([D]/[C#m])
 [Bm]  Just [A] little below  [A]  the st [G] icker:
Yeah, I  [Em7]  must've got a bad batch of  [A]  liquor.

   [D]  I can still see her standin'  [D/F#]  there on that sidewalk,
  Yellin'  [G]  out for the taxi that would  [A]  take her away,
  From the  [D]  arms of the one that still  [D/F#]  loves her
  With all of his  G  heart.  [A]
  I  [Em7]  ain't forgot [A] [D/F#] bout that  [G]  yet,
  But I  [Em7]  still have some  [A]  whiskey  [D]  left.

 [D]  I just tipped it  [D/F#]  up an' took the  [G]  last sip from the cup:
Threw that  D  bottle on the  [A]  ground an'started to  [D]  cry.
I know that I've had  [D/F#]  plenty an'  [G]  now there just ain't any,
An'  [D]  I'm just as empty as that  [A]  bottle inside.
