Once I [Ab] lived a life of wine and [Eb] roses, and I [Bb] drank a lot back then for one [Eb] concern.
Success for me [Ab] lay just around [Eb] the corner.
I thought [F] my social friends would help me make the [Bb] time.
But now [Eb] I'm paying for [Ab] the days of [Eb] wine and roses, [Bb] a victim of the drunken life [Eb] I chose.
Now all my [Ab] social friends looked down [Eb] their noses, [Cm] but [Bb] I kept the wine and threw away [Eb] the grope.
[Cm] [Bb] [Gm] [Bb]

I stood by and [Ab] watched the bottle [Eb] take control of me.
[Bb] The turn I made was not the one [Eb] I planned.
And I watched my [Ab] social standing slip [Eb] away from me, while [F] I watched the bottle slowly take [Gm] command.
