Kris Kristofferson — From the Bottle to the Bottom
Kris Kristofferson - From the bottle to the bottom
(verse 1)
G
You ask me if I??m happy now
D
That??s good as any joke I??ve heard
It seems that since I??ve seen you last
G
I done forgot the meaning of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin?? in the afternoon
G
Well I suppose I??m happy as a clam
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 down and outer waking up alone
D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked 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 falling
G
Learnin?? hard to live with losin?? you
(verse 2)
You wonder if I??m better off
With freedom now to do the things I choose
With all my times my own and
I got nothin?? left but sleepin?? time to lose
There??s no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tankerous damn if I don??t call
I??m livin?? like I wanted to
And doin?? things I wanna do
And nothin?? means a thing to me at all
(chorus)
G
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
D
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds has soaked 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 falling
G - DG
Learnin?? hard to live with losin?? you
