All them girls [G] I used to hold
[D] I made their love [G] turn cold
These [D] [Am] [Am] [G]

These old hands are [D] shaking
Lord, I can't see [G] the page
Sing me the song I taught you
It's my wine and [D] water
Never thought I'd [G] reach this stage
[C] I [G] used to know
[D] Like a fool [G] acting smart
I let them [C] go
All them [G] girls a long time gone
[D] I lost them [G] one by one

All my guts [G]
to play
[D] Don't give your [G] heart away
Nice one.
