🎸 Verse 1:
   G+G        E minorEm
When you gave me the King of gifts
 G+G          E minorEm
I didn't know what to say
     G+G         E minorEm
Except a hundred and fifty dollars
   G+G      E minorEm
Is an awful lot to pay
   G+G
For a girl like you
  E minorEm        G+G     E minorEm
who doesn't make much money, anyway
    G+G        E minorEm
But you cared enough to put away
 G+G      E minorEm
a little everyday

They told me I should have saved it; it'd be worth something someday.
     G+G          E minorEm        G+G      E minorEm
But me
I couldn't wait, that King of Rock got lighter everyday.
G+G         E minorEm       G+G        E minorEm
 Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you.
      G+G         E minorEm         G+G         E minorEm
And then I drank the rest
I should've guessed I drank our love in two.
