Stairway to the Bottom
K. Kristofferson
INTRO: C G C F C G
C
Well you started again with a wife of a friend
G
On another night you hope you won't recall
G
And the wine that you're drinkin' doesn't keep you from thinkin'
C
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul
C
As you listen to your lies, once again you realize
C7 F
That she doesn't mean a thing to you at all
C
And I watch you climb that stairway to the bottom
G C
Every evenin' in that mirror on the wall
(KEY CHANGE TO D)
D
You take pride in decievin' one who tried hard believin' in you
A
Even after all the lies you told
A
But each lie that you've spoken and each vow that you've broken
D
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul
D
If you think someone's cryin' for the love that is dyin'
D7 G
With the trust that you betray each time you fall
D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
A D D7
No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall
G D
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
A D
No one's watchin' but that mirror on the wall
