Six rain ridden summers, and he still had an eye---- for me,
   C majorC       G+G            D4
He kissed me each evening, and told me he'd die for me,
   D MajorD   E minor 7Em7   D/F#D/F#   G+G       C majorC     G+G
And then he...  ran off the road, full of whisky and irony,
G+G      D MajorD           C majorC     Cadd9Cadd9
He always meant what he said! | / / / | / / / |

G+G     G/DG/D    C majorC       G+G
So I took to whisky, so I could re - call...
     C majorC      G+G            D4
...The taste of his mouth on my mouth, that's all,
  D MajorD E minor 7Em7   D/F#D/F#  G+G      C majorC       G+G
And I tried the same trick with a truck, but it stalled,
   G+G     D4  D MajorD  C majorC (C/BC/B)(C/AC/A) G+G   (G/F#)
The engine was better off dead!     | /  /  / |

E minor 7Em7   G/BG/B   Cadd9Cadd9      (C/DC/D) G+G
  Oh, how the nights are long,
    Cadd9Cadd9   G+G   D MajorD   (D/AD/A)(D/B)(D/C)
Though life is longer still, | /  /  / |
E minor 7Em7   G/BG/B   Cadd9Cadd9      (C/DC/D) G+G
  Oh, how the nights are long,
    (G+G) (G/AG/A)(G/BG/B) D4  D MajorD  C majorC   (C/BC/B)(C/AC/A)
But the sun's com - in' over the hill!

G+G          G/DG/D     C majorC      (C/DC/D) G+G
The taste never left me,   and I don't think it will,
     C majorC       G+G       (G/AG/A) (G/BG/B) D4
And it caused me to supplement whisk - y  with pills,
   D MajorD     E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F#  G+G    C majorC         G+G
But there was something in - side that I couldn't kill,
    G+G      D4     D MajorD    C majorC     Cadd9Cadd9
Be - lieve me, I really did.. try! | / / / | / / / |

G+G       G/DG/D          C majorC       (C/DC/D)  G+G
And there's some say...you get what you deserve,  but they're wrong,
        C majorC        G+G      (G/AG/A)(G/BG/B) D4
Sometimes, you get what you're given, and then it's all gone,
   D MajorD    E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F# G+G        C majorC       G+G
And you are lucky, if you are suff - iciently strong,
        D4  D MajorD   C majorC (C/BC/B)(C/AC/A)  G+G  (G/F#)
To daily de - cide not to die!     | / /  / |

I can't say there's many things I wouldn't change,

There are better days gone than those that remain,
 D MajorD E minor 7Em7  D/F#D/F# G+G      C majorC         G+G
