(C) Once I lived a life of (F) wine and (C)Roses.
I (G7) drank a lot back then for one (C) concern.
Success for me lay (F) just around the corner. I
thought my (G7) social friends would help me make
the (C) turn.
(C) Now I'm paying for the (F) days of
wine and (C) and roses. A (G7) victim of the
drunken life I (C) chose. Now all my social
(F) friends look down their (C) noses. Cause I
(G7) kept the wine and through away the (C) rose.
Interlude: (C F, C, G7, C)
(C) I stood by and watched the (F) bottle take
(C) control of me. The (G7) turn I made was not
the one I (C) planned. And I watched my social
(F) standing slip (C) away from me. While I
(G7) watched the bottle slowly take (C) command.
(repeat chorus)
