kristofferson kris - "from the bottle"

/*************** 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.
