             Eb            C#     F#             Ab
It was the alcohol you said took away your common sense. You 
       Eb             C#         F#            Ab
don't remember a thing, unconciousness is your defense.
          Eb           C#                F#            Ab
It's everybody's fault but yours and now we must forgive.
       Eb               C#              F#              Ab
How can we hold a grudge when you can't remember what you

did but
B           C#         F#             Eb            B
It's not so easy to forgive no matter what you say. It's not
   C#         F#   N.C.                   Ab      B
so easy to forget, it won't just go away. It will never be 
    F#    Ab      B            F#
the same. It will never be the same.
        Eb                  C#               F#
You'll never drink that much again, those intentions sound 
         Ab          Eb                             C#
just great. And while I'm glad to see you've learned, I 
           F#                    Ab         
think it's just a little, a little too late. It's 
     Eb           C#                 F#            Ab 
everybody's fault but yours, and now we must forgive. But 
  Eb           C#                        F#             Ab
how can we hold a grudge when you can't remember what you 

did. . . .


Then just chorus twice, and that's it.
