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


Chorus:

          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


Chorus:

          A                                    F#m

          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
