Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

So open promise fades

and the sun forgets to rise

I'm lonely and I'm thirsty

but it's better I stay dry

Never more than two drinks away

from crying

Verse 2

Stare into the glass

and wait for the time to pass

And thank you for the offer

but you know I must decline

Never more than two drinks away

from crying

Bridge

There used to be a time

When I could hold my head up high

My life stretched out before me

and rivers flowed with wine

I had my love beside me

and everything was fine

But now the ride is over

It's hard to say goodbye

Verse 3

So open promise fades

and midnight turns to day

I'd love to drown my sorrow

but I cannot tell a lie

Never more than two drinks away

from crying
