Lost

        D(Intro) (xx0232@1)She's just a tear I used to cry
     GLong (320003@1)before we said goodbye
      A7 (x02020@1)                           DNow (xx0232@1)she's just a lady that I used to know

When the bottle took her place
          GShe (320003@1)was a mirror I had to face
      A7 (x02020@1)                             DAnd (xx0232@1)a dream I dared to dream some time ago.


D (xx0232@1)                                         A7I (x02020@1)lost her eyes to a whole bunch of Pina Coladas
                                      DAfter (xx0232@1)a few Margaritas I took all the blame
                                                 A7For (x02020@1)drinking Manhattans at three in the morning I lost her
                                                  DBetween (xx0232@1)the Vodka and the Gin and the Beer and Champagne

I lost her lips late one night on a Strawberry Daiquiri
Jack Daniels, Whiskey and Rum couldn't help me that time
I lost her arms and her hands to a glass of Tequila
I lost her heart and her soul in a bottle of Wine

I lost a bet that our love would last forever
Sloe Gin and Tonic was making my heart hard to find
With two Bloody Mary's I ran out of Vodka this morning
Losing my chances of drinking her off of my mind.
