Kristofferson Kris - From The Bottle guitar chord

FROM THE BOTTLE TO THE BOTTOM

written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.

Verse 1:

                         G

You ask me if i'm happy now

                                 D

That's good as any joke i've heard

It seems since i've seen you last

              G

I've done forgotten the meening of the words

          

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

C

Well i suppose i'm happy as a clown

     D

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' of forgettin' you

     G

Well i don't guess that i could say i am

Chorus:

G

Did you ever see a darling out a waken up alone

D

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds that sop the paper

G

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants

     C

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

D

That's the way that i've been feelin' since the day i started fallen

From the bottle to the bottom stew by stew

G

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

Verse 2:

  G

You wonder if i'm better off

           D

With freedom now to do the things i choose

With all my times my own and

                         G

I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If i stay out the whole night lone

  C

Give a thinker's damn if i don't call

    D

I'm livin' like i wanted you

And doin' things i wanna do

         G

And nothin' means a things to me at all

Chorus.
