Intro: B  A  E 
 
Verse 1: 
       E         
Well I come from a long line of walk the liners 
A                                                  
Square jawed & tall, never two timin' back sliders 
E                                    B 
I'm the twisted branch on the family tree 
          E 
I've been raising hell my whole life long 
         A 
The only thing I've done right is doing wrong 
         E                            B                         E 
Yeah you can't get on top from at the bottom of the bottle like me 
 
Chorus: 
                  A 
The bottom of the bottle like me  
     E 
Is a real tough place to be 
      B 
Every night here all alone,  
         A                     E 
And even warm summer days feel cold 
                  A 
The bottom of the bottle again  
    E 
All alone without a friend 
        B 
Born to lose, and destined to fail,  
                  A                            E 
The bottom of the bottle leads you straight to hell 
 
  
 
Verse 2: 
Well I just got married in my Social D jacket 
The third time around, though, I thought I could hack it 
I'm three days sober and that's pretty damn good for me 
She wants me to stay sober all damn week 
But right now I'd trade her for one stiff drink 
Yeah you can't get on top from at the bottom of the bottle like me 
 
CHORUS 
 
  
        B 
Born to lose, and destined to fail,  
                  A                            E 
The bottom of the bottle leads you straight to hell
