Jason Boland & The Stragglers — Bottle By My Bed
Intro
EEEE/A
Verse
EE7AEE/A
My life was as empty as the bottle by my bed
EF#M B
My friends turned into strangers and I was all but dead
EE7AEE/A
Jesus came and found me there that day those demons bled
EAE
when my life was as empty as the bottle by my bed
My first taste of the spirit, it brought me to my knees
I knew that I was helpless, I prayed Lord help me please
each time was the last time, that's what I always said
when my life was as empty as the bottle by my bed
Chorus
AE
By my bed, everything seemed further out of reach
A
And in my head, oh I found it hard to practice what I
BA
preached
EE7AE
And now I'm going back home, it's down this path I'm led
EBE
And I'm no longer empty like the bottle by my bed
Sometimes this road gets lonesome and I wish that I could fly
So don't be afraid to stop me when I pass you by
We'll sit and watch the sun go down as the waters turn to red
And if you'd like i could tell you all about the bottle by my bed
Chorus
Thank God that I'm not empty, like the bottle by my bed
