G                          D7
Tonight in a bar alone I'm sitting
                                G
Apart from the laughter and the cheer
                                D7
While scenes from the past rise before me
                               G
I'm watching the bubbles in my beer

 
  C                     G
A vision of someone who loves me
                                D7
Brings a long silent tear to my eye
     G                          D7
Oh I know that my life's been a failure
                                G
Just watching the bubbles in my beer

 
                            D7
I'm seeing a road that I've traveled
                                 G
A road paved with heartaches and tears
                                  D7
And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted
                                 G
While watching the bubbles in my beer

 
     C                             G
As I think of the hearts that I've broken
                                              D7
And of the golden chances that have passed me by
        G                         D7
And the dreams that I had now are empty
                              G
As empty as the bubbles in my beer
