Intro   E     A


A
Well it's hard to watch a party

A                                      D
When you're the only one who's feeling bad

E                         							A
People watch you out of the corner of their eyes when they laugh

A
Still I wish all the best to you

A					D
Carry on as long as you want to 

E
But if you're dancing on the bar

E					 A
Try not to kick over this bottle

Chorus

A
If you're dancing on the bar

A                          D
Try not to kick over this bottle

           E
I'm not as happy as you are

E   								A
And I'm just trying to get through to tomorrow

A
She up and left 'fore I could think


A							   D

E
So if you're dancing in the bar

E					  A
Try not to kick over this bottle 


And there was a time not long ago
That I'd be right up there with you
I'd be singing, and dancing
And carrying on the whole night through
And there was a time not long ago 
Though now it's so hard to believe 
That I wouldn't be alone, no
She'd be right up there with me

Chorus

She up and left 'fore I could think
Of all the reasons that she shouldn't ought to 
So if you're dancing on the bar
Try not to kick over this bottle
So if you're dancing on the bar
Try not to kick over this bottle
