Verse 1

Em      Am      Em       Am
So open promise fades
        Em     Am      Em     Am
and the sun forgets to rise
    C              Em
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
         Am            Em
but it's better I stay dry
                Em         Am
Never more than two drinks away
     Gm
from crying


Verse 2

Em    Am       Em       Am
Stare into the glass
    Em           Am      Em     Am
and wait for the time to pass
    C                 Em
And thank you for the offer
        Am          Em
but you know I must decline
                Em         Am
Never more than two drinks away
     Gm
from crying


Bridge

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


Verse 3

Em      Am      Em       Am
So open promise fades
    Em       Am       Em     Am
and midnight turns to day
    C                Em
I'd love to drown my sorrow
      Am            Em
but I cannot tell a lie
                Em         Am
Never more than two drinks away
     Gm
from crying
