Introduction:

                             D                                 D7                                                                    G  
Here I sit behind the bottle, like I've done so many times
A7                                                                                                                                 D  
A  
                          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  
Jerry Lee the Killer's got your memory baby, and time will not erase
