C G Bm Em 
C G D Am Em 
Verse: 
Yeah, 
Am7    G     D      Am7     Em 
Living in my rented room, I sharply had a fall 

Am7    G      D    Am7    Em 
I fell into a bottle, and no-one heard my call 
And my father said, 
Am7       G          D         Am7            Em
"Why do you think that you stumbled into this bottle that you fell?", 
And I says 
Am7       G               D    Am7         Em 
"Father I think I lost my balance throwing pennies in the holy well". 

Chorus: 
         C          G                   Bm       Em
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all 
             C         G                           Bm     Em
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way

Verse: 
   Am7 G        D         Am7           Em 
I came across a friend of mine who had, plunged and sank deep down 
      Am7      G    D      Am7             Em 
And I wondered if I knew him, because his mind had turned around 
      Am7      G          D         Am7           Em
So I sat for a while with this stranger, he was a shell of what he'd once been 
      Am7        G        D   Am7            Em
And I thought of all the alcohol and all the pain and greed that i've seen 

Chorus: 
         C          G                   Bm       Em
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all 
             C         G                          Bm     Em
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way 

Am7 G D Dsus4 Am7 Em 
                  No way, 
Verse: 
Am7     G   D          Am7          Em 
Mothers all around the world try to teach your children to stay 
   Am7       G             D   Am7        Em 
To stay well away from the bottle, if you dont want to watch decay 
Am7          G            D    Am7               Em
Decay of the mind and the soul aswell, theres no need to go through that pain 
Am7         G      D    Am7             Em 
Mothers you wanted your children not to drown in the acid rain 

Chorus: 
         C          G                   Bm       Em
Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all 
             C         G                           Bm   Em
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to You, yes it is

           Bm             Em 
Its up to you, oooh yes it is, 
          Bm         Em 
Its up to you yes it is, 
          Bm               Em 
Its up to you's, to say no way 
   C    G   Bm   Em
