Bottom Of The Bottle
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
| Gm | Gm | Bb | F/A |
| Gm | Gm | Bb | F/A
[Verse 1]
Gm
I stand still
Bb F
Aint no wind's gon' blow me down
Gm
I drink my swill
Bb F
Hold my hand until we drown
Eb
And I know it's easier
Bb F
To keep things in than saying them out loud
Eb
I'm used to being hurt
Bb F
Drink some gin, I try to keep it down
Eb
I think you know me too well
Bb F
I just can't say I know myself
Eb
I know I put you through hell
Bb F
And if I leave all by myself, you'd be just fine
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
But I'm lost, where do I go
F Eb
I can't find my way back home
Bb
I'll die on my own
F Eb
Searching for someone I know
Bb
Long roads stare at me
F Eb
Hope the distance sets me free
Bb
I'm tired but I stand strong
F
Ain't much time before I'm gone
[Interlude]
| Gm | Gm | Bb | F/A |
| Gm | Gm | Bb | F/A
[Verse 2]
Gm
I stand still
Bb F
Take my soul, set it on fire
Gm
But I can't feel
Bb F
No one hears me when I cry
Eb
And I know it's easier
Bb F
To let it all come crashing to the ground
Eb
I think I'm being cursed
Bb F
To take all that I love and burn it down
Eb
I know I'm drinking too much
Bb F
And if it kills me then I'm dead
Eb
I don't got time to lose much
Bb F Eb
And if I lose to my own head just let me go
[Chorus]
Bb
Cause I'm lost, where do I go
F Eb
I can't find my way back home
Bb
I'll die on my own
F Eb
Searching for someone I know
Bb
Long roads stare at me
F Eb
Hope the distance sets me free
Bb
I'm tired but I stand strong
F
Ain't much time before I'm gone

Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Attack the lowest strings to sound like him
He leaves his pinky on the 3 fret of the high E string the entire song so
it resonates in key but he never plays it
Capo 4 for live
Capo 3 for album version
