Intro: A 

Verse I: 

          A                                  F#m 
There's a lesson in a bottle that never gets learned 
              D                              E 
Sweep out the ashes of the bridges that I've burned 
A                                               F#m     
white lines and wild times, passed out cold and left behind 
         D                 E       A  
Then I'm right back in the saddle again 



          A                                    F#m 
There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot  
            D                          E 
I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn 
          A                                   F#m 
There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot  
            D             E          A 
I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn 


Verse II: 

     A                                   F#m 
Blue lights and fist fights one too many out all nights 
               D                           E 
Like a freight train that's done run outta track 
A                                                  F#m 
I've been a winner and a loser, sloppy drunk and a drug abuser 
         D                          E            A 
If I get through this, Lord I swear I'll cut way back 



          A                                    F#m 
There's a lesson in a bottle, bartender pour a shot  
            D                          E 
I'll have a whiskey, I believe it's my turn 
          A                                   F#m 
There's a lesson in a bottle bartender pour a shot  
            D             E          A 
I'll have a whiskey cause I'll never learn 


Bridge: 
      E                   D           A 
I'm a long, long way from where I was goin' 
     E                          D              A          
It's been a long, long time, my scars are sure showin' 
    E                              
But school's in session bring the liquor
