Verse 1
From the bottle to the bottom - Kris Kristofferson
Intro
[G]
Verse 1
You [G]ask me if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I've [D]heard
It seems since I've seen you last
I've done forgot the meening of the [G]word
If happiness is empty rooms and drinkin' in the afternoon
Well I suppose I'm happy as a [C]clam
But [D]if it's got a thing to do with smilin' of forgettin' you
Well I don't guess that I could say I [G]am
Chorus
Did you [G]ever see a down-and-outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the [D]dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He'd been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' [G]through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come [C]true
That's the [D]way that I've been feelin' since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' [G]you
Verse 2
You [G]wonder if I'm better off
With freedom now to do the things I [D]choose
With all my time's my own and
I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to [G]lose
There's no one here to carry on if I stay out the whole night long
'n give a tinker's damn if I don't [C]call
I'm [D]livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do
And nothin' means a thing to me at [G]all
Chorus
Did you [G]ever see a down-and-outer wakin' up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the [D]dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He'd been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' [G]through
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
Because he's never seen a single dream come [C]true
That's the [D]way that I've been feelin' since the day I started fallin'
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin' hard to live with losin' [G]you
