i just found me a bottle of blues

some strange comfort for a soul to soothe

ain't it hard ain't it hard,

to want somebody who doesn't want you

and i've been waiting for a year, a day

some strange weather must be blowin' my way

cause i got no mind to go or to stay,

or be left behind

F E

holdin' hands with an impotent dream

F E

in a brothel of fake energy

F G#

put a nickel in the graveyard machine

D9 G#

i get higher and lower

D9 G#

i get higher and lower

D9 D# D9

like a tired soldier with nothin' to shoot

F D9 C

and nowhere to lose this bottle of blues

egos drone and pose alone

like black balloons all banged and blown

on a backwoods river the infidels shiver

in the stench of belief

i tell my momma i'm a hundred years late

i'm over the rails and out of the race

and the crippled psalms of an age that won't thaw

are ringing in my ears

holdin' hands with an impotent dream

in a brothel of fake energy

put a nickel in the graveyard machine

i get higher and lower

i get higher and lower

like a tired soldier

with nothin' to shoot

and nowhere dreams it's a..

bottle of blues

(repeat first verse)

holdin' hands with an impotent dream

in a brothel of fake energy

put a nickel in the graveyard machine

i get higher and lower

i get higher and lower

like a tired soldier

with nothin' to shoot

and nowhere dreams it's a..
