Verse 1
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
So open promise fades
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
and the sun forgets to rise
C majorC E minorEm
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
A minorAm E minorEm
but it's better I stay dry
E minorEm A minorAm
Never more than two drinks away
G minorGm
from crying
Verse 2
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
Stare into the glass
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
and wait for the time to pass
C majorC E minorEm
And thank you for the offer
A minorAm E minorEm
but you know I must decline
E minorEm A minorAm
Never more than two drinks away
G minorGm
from crying
Bridge
C majorC E minorEm
There used to be a time
A minorAm E minorEm
When I could hold my head up high
C majorC E minorEm
My life stretched out before me
A minorAm E minorEm
and rivers flowed with wine
C majorC E minorEm
I had my love beside me
A minorAm E minorEm
and everything was fine
C majorC E minorEm
But now the ride is over
A minorAm
It's hard to say goodbye
Verse 3
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
So open promise fades
E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
and midnight turns to day
C majorC E minorEm
I'd love to drown my sorrow
A minorAm E minorEm
but I cannot tell a lie
E minorEm A minorAm
Never more than two drinks away
G minorGm
from crying
