from the bottle — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

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