           D             D7                          G 
Here I sit behind the bottle, like I've done so many times 
A7                                                 D 
A-drinkin' to my new love, with my old love on my mind 
          D               D7                                 G 
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place 
        A7                                               D 
And the bottle holds the memory that a new love can't replace 

    D                     D7                        G 
The bottle holds the memory of the times we used to share 
A7                                                     D 
She would not take me back again if I cried a million tears 
     D                   D7                           G 
So I smile and run my fingers gently on my new love's face 
        A7                                           D 
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase 

          D              D7                            G 
She don't realize I'm lonely, she thinks everything is fine 
     A7                                                 D 
Tell another joke bartender, Lord I'm about to lose my mind 
         D                  D7                            G 
I'm just goin' thru the motions, Lord I'll never win this race 
        A7                                           D 
While I hold the bottled memory that time could not erase 

       D                 D7                          G 
Here I sit behind this bottle like I've done so many times 
A7                                             D 
Drinkin' to my new love with my old love on my mind 
           D               D7                                G 
That just ain't no way to shake it, no one else can take her place 
          A7                                     D 
Old Jerry Lee holds the memory that time cannot erase 
      A7                                                        D    A7-D 
Jerry Lee the Killer's got your memory baby, and time will not erase
