Lookin' at the world through the bottom of a glass,

Tonight I need that woman again.

Sit down beside me and say: "It's alright.

"Take me home and make sweet love to me tonight."

But here I am again, mixin' misery and gin.

I light a lonely woman's cigarette,

We both start talkin' 'bout what we want to forget.

Her life story and mine are the same.
C                             C7                       F
We both lost someone and only have ourselves to blame.
