Intro:
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

Verse 1:
 G+G   C majorC   G+G  C majorC  G+G   C majorC    G+G  C majorC
Empty, empty bottles, Lying side by side.
 G+G    C majorC   G+G  C majorC  G+G     C majorC    G+G   C majorC
Used up, empty bottles, Remembering long lost wine.

G+G     C majorC   G+G   C majorC G+G   C majorC   G+G  C majorC
Keep our, empty bottles, Making empty wine.
 G+G    C majorC   G+G   C majorC G+G   C majorC   G+G
Marking our intentions. Sadly, out of time.
     A minorAm              G+G       C majorC G+G
And the summer will make you lazy, A augmentedA day at a time.
     A minorAm        G+G       C majorC  G+G
And good company evades you, Passing you by.

Chorus:
     D MajorD           C majorC
But I do love you, against all odds,
      D MajorD         C majorC
Though you don't know, what I want,
      G+G   C majorC     G+G   C majorC
We're much poorer than that bottle,
   G+G    C majorC     G+G   C majorC
More foolish, than that wine.

Verse 2:
 G+G   C majorC    G+G   C majorC  G.    C majorC   G+G   C majorC
Maybe, we can make it, Though we failed before.
 G+G    C majorC    G+G  C majorC  G+G   C majorC    G+G
You keep getting closer, close to me once more.
     A minorAm            G+G       C majorC G+G
And I'll try to entertain you, A augmentedA day at a time;
    A minorAm           G+G      C majorC   G+G
Try to make myself much clearer, from your wine.

Chorus:
     D MajorD           C majorC
But I do love you, against all odds,
      D MajorD         C majorC
Though you don't know, what I want,
    D MajorD       C majorC
Seeing you, and seeing me,
      G+G   C majorC     G+G   C majorC
We're much poorer than that bottle,
   G+G    C majorC     G+G   C majorC
More foolish, than that wine.
