Bottle

E
A stinking sun burned me awake
A
Through the shattered windowpane
E
I recalled through eyes of claret red
       A
He had taken me again
        G#m7
And the hair of the dog revives me
      A               C#m
But I find it hard to swallow

       A
It's a marriage made in heaven
        A7         E
Between me and the bottle

E
A thousand words fell through my hands
        A
And the room just spins
E
This sodden mattress holds my heart
    A
And cradles my regrets
G#m
I'll read it once again
       A
For he knows that I'll not follow

       A
It's a marriage of convenience
        A7         E
Between me and the bottle

E
So King Alcohol's come back
         A
With the traffic's mournful cry
       E
And he swaggers, drunk and skinful
           A
Through my throat all parched and dry

       G#m7
And if I should die before I wake
  A
I pray the Lord my soul to take
     A
Then I could rest
A                       G#m
And never wake again in sorrow

       A
It's a marriage on the rocks
        A7         C#m       C#m7
Between me and the bottle
