[Verse 1]
[Am]Lonely, won't you please hold me
[E7]Tell me you love me
[A] Meven though I know it's just a lie
[E7]Depression, hello my old friend
[Am]It's so good to see you again
At least with you I won't die alone
And no, no matter how low

[Chorus 1]
[C]There ain't no rock bottom for me
[E7]Guilty, I know you blame me
It's a weight that I carry
Too heavy for your back to hold
Regret, some things you can't forget
So light up that cigarette
We're all wasting time til we die

[Verse 2]

[E7]There ain't no rock bottom for me
[Am]Hopeless, why don't you notice

Drinking, Lord knows I'm sinking
What the Hell was I thinking

[Chorus 2]
[C]When I picked up that bottle again
