[Verse]

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     
 And everybody knows    
                    A
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 thΠ΅ past
        Bm
And the past holds the woman
       G
At the bottom of thΠ΅ glass
                     D
So I don't have a problem
                     A
If I don't see the bottom
 
 
[Solo]

[Verse]

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                
 Wish I knew what 
Bm
I could blame
Em                
 Without a moment 
Bm
I could name
Em              Bm         
 I don't have a thing that 
    A
I recall 
 
 
[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 thΠ΅ past
        Bm
And the past holds the woman
       G
At the bottom of thΠ΅ glass
                     D
So I don't have a problem
                     A
If I don't see the bottom

[Chorus]

           G
'Cause the heart holds the memory
        A
And the memory holds the past
        Bm
And the past holds the woman
       G
At the bottom of the glass
                     D
So I don't have a problem
                     A
If I don't see the bottom
        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
