INTRO:INSTRUMENTALLY

A/A     D                               A
And to-night...there's a bottle on this table
     E             E7           A
Just waiting...for me to crawl inside.


VERSE ONE

A                    E              A
Tonight....there's a bottle on this table
   E               E7     A  A7
I swear...it won’t let me be. 
     D                        A
And tonight...well I won't be able
    E                  E7             A  E7
To control...what that bottle says to me.


VERSE TWO

A      D               A
I know...I should move along
     E     E7               A    A7
Lord knows....how hard I've tried
    D                       A
And tonight...here at this table
     E            E7          A     A7
I'll drink...your memory good-night
 

CHORUS

          D                      A
And these nights...have been so lonely
        B              B7               E    E7
But the whisky...helps ease my troubled mind
       D                                 A   
And to-night...there's..a bottle on this table
     E            E7             A
Just waiting...for me.. to crawl inside.


INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS


VERSE THREE
A          E          A
Now whisky...wine and gin
     E     E7             A      A7
Have become...my new best friends
         D                      A
And each time I try...to set'em down
    E            E7              A     A7
Jim Beam hollers...boys one more round.


CHORUS REPEAT

These nights...have been so lonely
        B              B7               E    E7
But the whisky...helps ease my troubled mind
       D                                A
And to-night..there's a bottle..on this table
     E             E7           A      F#7
Just waiting...for me to crawl inside.
