[C#] [D#] [E]
[A]
Once I lived [D] a life, [A] wine rosy.
[E] I drank a lot back then for one [A] concern.
Success for me [D] lay just around [A] the corner.
I thought [B] my social friend would help me [E] make the turn.
But [A] now I'm pained for [D] the days of [A] wine and roll.
[E] A victim of the drunken life [A] I chose.
Now all my [D] social friends look [A] down their noses.
[E] For I can't, the wine blew away the [A] rose.
[E]
[A]
[Bm] [G#] [A] I stood by and watched [D] the bottle take [A] control of me.
[E] The turn I made was not the [A] one I planned.
And I watched my [D] social standings [A] slip away from me.
[B] As I slowly watched the bottle [E] take command.
And now [A] I'm pained for the [D] days of [A] wine and roses.
[E] A victim of the drunken life [A] I chose.
Now all my [D] social friends look down [A] their noses.
[E] [F#m] [E] For I can't, the wine blew [A] away the rose.
