E                         A   
I come home late at night with my boots in my hands  
Am                                      E  
Stumblin' the backdoor bein' quiet as I can  
E                             A  
And I know she's there in bed cold and all alone  
          Am                                 E  
And she's cryin' because I'm breaking up our home  
  

        E                       A  
And she knows the hell that I'm goin' through   
        E               B7  
In this world inside my head  
          E            A  
There's a devil in the bottle Lord   
       E  B7           A     E    
And he wants to see me dead  
   
  
I fall into her arms and she helps me with my clothes  
Guess she stays on with me cause she really knows  
But I'm tryin' Lord to find my freedom  
By escaping to the only freedom I've ever known  
  
Chorus 2:  
And she knows the hell that I'm goin' through in this world inside my head  
There's a devil in the bottle Lord and he won't rest till I'm dead  
  
There's a devil livin' in this bottle   
And he won't rest till I'm dead
