and tGhen go hDome with that boA7ttle in his hDandG  D  
Chorus:
and the only Dthing I Gcan hold onDto is this Gbottle in my Dhand
I know I'll never haGve to shDare it with any other A7man
I'm so gDlad you inGtroduDced us and I'll dGo the best I cDan
TGo be fDaithful to this A7bottle in my hDandG  D  
2nd Verse:
DShe told George that changing diapers could Gsure become a Ddrag
