G D Em C x 3
G D C
I’m just 50 bucks short of the bottle
That might help me get through the night
That might stop the hard/bad dreams that claw at my seams
That have her still here at my side
Only 40 bucks short of that bottle
Thanks to the lady in blue
A ten dollar bill always gives me a thrill
I can tell you they’re always too few
Still 20 bucks short of a bottle
And I’ve been standing here playing all day
Every song is for her and for who we once were
Holding on as we danced in the flames
There’s just another 5 bucks for the bottle
But I don’t think I’ll hang out that long
With the money I’ve here I’ll get a carton/dozen of beer
If you’ll join me in one final song
Now I’ve got enough to get through tonight
I can wash all bad memories away
Off they go round the bend to where all the waste blends
Then I have only to face the next day
