[Verse 1]
D
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
    D                           A
Not feelin' any pain at closing time
    A
But tonight your memory found me much to sober
         A                               D
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind.

[Chorus]
  D
Tonight the bottle let me down
    D                       A
And let your memories come around
    A
The one true friend I thought I've found
  A                       D
Tonight the bottle let me down.

[Verse 2]
D
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
    D                              A
And lately I've been turning every day
    A
But the wine don't take effect the way it used to do
        A                       D
Now I'm hurtin' an old familiar way.

[Chorus]
  D
Tonight the bottle let me down
    D                       A
And let your memories come around
    A
The one true friend I thought I've found
  A                       D
Tonight the bottle let me down
  A                       D
Tonight the bottle let me down
