Kris Kristofferson - From the bottle to the bottom
(verse 1)
You a[G]sk me if I'm happy now
That's good as any joke I'v[D]e heard
It seems that since I've seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the wo[G]rds
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin' in the afternoon
Well I suppose I'm happy as a[G] 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 [G]I am
(chorus)
Did you e[G]ver see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the d[D]ew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
He's 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 falling
Learnin' hard to live with losin[G]' 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)
Did you e[G]ver see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the d[D]ew
When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
He's 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 falling
Learnin' hard to live with losin[G]'[-] y[D]ou[-][G]
