Key: C

Introduction:  C   Dm   F   C  

 G                                 F                         C                             Am 
We met some time ago, when we were almost young
   Bm                           Am                                                     F                         G 
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
 G                                 F                         C                               Am 
I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose
     Bm                                             Am                               F                             G 
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes
 D                                     C                               G                                     C 
I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind
 D                                     C                               G                                     C 
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
 C                                             Dm                             F                                 C 
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
 C                                                     Dm               F                       C 
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
 G                                 F                         C                             Am 
I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes
   Bm                                       Am                                                                     F                                 G 
When I was choking on the words to say, you shoved your finger down my throat
 G                                 F                         C                             Am 
The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
   Bm                                     Am                                                                 F                               G 
You were giving me head, on that creaky, old bed at the Ol' Duvol Motel
 D                             C                               G                                     C 
Just like everything ,even good love has to die
 D                   C                     G                                     C 
Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye
* *Chorus 1
         Am     C     Am     C     Am     F          C 
* *Pre-Chorus 2
 Am                                     C                                                                 Dm     F         C 
No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind
 C                                                           Dm                                 F                             C 
Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
 C                                                     Dm               F                       C 
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
 C                                                     Dm                       F                           C 
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
 C                                                                 Dm                           F                                   C 
You take the "bag" of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
