Intro Em Am x4

   Am       Dm      Am
as hope and promise fades
        Am  Dm         Am
and the sun forgets to rise
    Dm             Am
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
Em
but it's better I stay dry
           Am         Dm
No more than two drinks away
     Am
from crying

Em Am x2

Am      Dm     Am
Stare into the glass
     Am          Dm      Am
and wait for the time to pass
    Dm                Am
And thank you for the offer
Em
but you know I must decline
             Am         Dm
No more than two drinks away
     Am
from crying

      Dm           D4  Dm
There used to be a time
             Am
When I could hold my head up high
   Dm             D4     Dm
My life stretched out before me
E
and rivers flowed with wine
Dm  D4       Dm
and had my love beside me
Am
and everything was fine
    Dm                  E
But now the ride is over
                            Am
It's hard to say goodbye

   Am       Dm      Am
As hope and promise fade
    Am       Dm       Am
and midnight turns to day
    Dm               Am
I'd love to drown my sorrow
Em
but I cannot tell a lie
             Am         Dm
No more than two drinks away
     Am
from crying
