Intro E5 A5 x4

   A5       D5      A5
as hope and promise fades
        A5  D5         A5
and the sun forgets to rise
    D5             A5
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
E5
but it's better I stay dry
           A5         D5
No more than two drinks away
     A5
from crying

E5 A5 x2

A5      D5     A5
Stare into the glass
     A5          D5      A5
and wait for the time to pass
    D5                A5
And thank you for the offer
E5
but you know I must decline
             A5         D5
No more than two drinks away
     A5
from crying

      D5           D5  D5
There used to be a time
             A5
When I could hold my head up high
   D5             D5     D5
My life stretched out before me
E5
and rivers flowed with wine
D5  D5       D5
and had my love beside me
A5
and everything was fine
    D5                  E5
But now the ride is over
                            A5
It's hard to say goodbye

   A5       D5      A5
As hope and promise fade
    A5       D5       A5
and midnight turns to day
    D5               A5
I'd love to drown my sorrow
E5
but I cannot tell a lie
             A5         D5
No more than two drinks away
     A5
from crying
