Key: E

🎸 Intro:

G   D   G   D


🎸 Verse 1:
Bm
 Love is a mystery
D
 It's a tricky thing
Bm
 It's more than a word
D
 More than a ring
Em                    Bm
 When the right thing turns to wrong
Em            Bm
 Turns into a lonesome song
Em             Bm                        A
 And everybody knows how it goes when it does

🎸 Chorus:
    G
The bottle holds the whiskey
G
The whiskey holds the man
    D
The man holds the bottle when it's all that's left
        G
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds
    D
The smoke can't hide what the heart regrets
           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory
        A
And the memory holds thе past
        Bm
And the past holds the woman
       G
At the bottom of thе glass
                     D
So I don't have a problem
                     A
If I don't see the bottom


Guitar 🎸 Solo:
G   D


🎸 Verse 2:
Bm
 I played it all over
D
 Over in my mind
Bm
 I'm lookin' for the reasons
D
 I just can't find
Em                Bm
 Wish I knew what I could blame
Em                Bm
 Without a moment I could name
Em              Bm             A
 I don't have a thing that I recall


🎸 Chorus:
    G
The bottle holds the whiskey
G
The whiskey holds the man

The man holds the bottle when it's all that's left
        G
And the left hand lights what the right hand holds
    D
The smoke can't hide what the heart regrets
           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory
        A
And the memory holds thе past
        Bm
And the past holds the woman
       G
At the bottom of thе glass

        G
Oh, the hurt's holdin' me
    A
And I'm holdin' on
     Bm
To a hundred-proof truth
      G
And a hope that's long gone
                     D
So I don't have a problem
                     A
If I don't see the bottom
