Intro: B  A  E

Verse 1:
       E        
Well I come from a long line of walk the liners
A                                                 
Square jawed & tall, never two timin' back sliders
E                                    B
I'm the twisted branch on the family tree
          E
I've been raising hell my whole life long
         A
The only thing I've done right is doing wrong
         E                            B                         E
Yeah you can't get on top from at the bottom of the bottle like me


Chorus:
                  A
The bottom of the bottle like me 
     E
Is a real tough place to be
      B
Every night here all alone, 
         A                     E
And even warm summer days feel cold
                  A
The bottom of the bottle again 
    E
All alone without a friend
        B
Born to lose, and destined to fail, 
                  A                            E
The bottom of the bottle leads you straight to hell


Solo: Play Verse

Verse 2:
Well I just got married in my Social D jacket
The third time around, though, I thought I could hack it
I'm three days sober and that's pretty damn good for me
She wants me to stay sober all damn week
But right now I'd trade her for one stiff drink
Yeah you can't get on top from at the bottom of the bottle like me


CHORUS

        B
Born to lose, and destined to fail, 
                  A                            E
The bottom of the bottle leads you straight to hell

Outro:  B  A  E
