Intro: D C F G
D D
Verse:
D D
1. Well, there's a devil in the bottle, staring straight at me
D D
Daring me to reach out, but I know he's testing me
G
If I take just one sip, I become that devil's son
D D
Act a fool, sell my soul before God and everyone
A G D
Oh Lord, I know, I only hurt the ones I love
2. I'm walkin' down this dead end road, all alone and by myself
Wish I could blame the whiskey, but I can only blame myself
Running out of chances, and Lord that's such a crime
I got to find the answer before I lose my mind
A G A G
Oh Lord its a cryin shame, oh Lord I've caused so much pain
D
I only hurt the ones I love
Chorus:
G5
There's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
D
So many times I've been hurtin' my soul and family
G5 A
But I got free on the day I fought the
D
Devil in the bottle
Solo: verse
3. The next time that ol' devil tries to get the best of me
I'll smash that bottle against the wall and know I'm finally free
There's a devil in a bottle that just won't let me be
There's so many times I let him hurt me
I got free all the day I fought the
Devil in the bottle
Devil in the bottle
Devil in the bottle
