‘Take To The Bottle’ – Full Version                       
Copyright - Music & Lyrics Rachel L Collard

V1
It seems the grass is greener			 
Wherever she may be				
Her footsteps ever deeper			
The signs are clear to me			
Though I’ve tried hard not to lose control	
Why does no one understand			
These nights don’t seem so lonely 		
With a shot glass in my hand			 

Ch1
Everyday’s the same,				
I’m not taking all this pain,		
It’s something else I’ll take to the bottle,	
Stranded high and dry,
Still I have to question ‘why’?	
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle.	

V2
The night rolls into daylight
And I’m still seeing red
The silence becomes louder
Her lies run through my head
Though I’m trying hard to think straight
In a world so out of line
Nothin’ seems to make sense
This life don’t seem like mine		 

Ch2
Everyday’s the same
I’m not taking all this pain
It’s something else I’ll take to the bottle
Stranded high and dry 
Still I have to question ‘why’? 	
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle

Bridge
Lord, Save me from this maze			
Lead me through the haze			
Right now…..right now
Change the hands of time
Don’t leave me here to find,
My child’s eyes don’t look like mine	

Ch 3
Everyday’s the same
I’m not livin’ with the shame
It’s something else I’ll take to the bottle
Stranded high and dry,
Still I have to question ‘why’?
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle


Ch 4
Everyday’s the same
I’m not livin’ with the pain
It’s something else I’ll take to the bottle
Stranded high and dry,
Still I have to question ‘why’?
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle
Just something else I’ll take to the bottle
