Bitter Wine (J. Bon Jovi & R. Sambora) [Intro] | C | Dm | F | C | | C | Dm | F | C | [Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D                     D/C               G/B        C
  I never thought I'd lose you, no, I'd rather go blind

D                     D/C             G/B             C
  I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
G                 F              C                 Am
  I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all of my jokes

Bm                          Am                           C             G
  When I was choking on the words to say, you stuck 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 Hotel
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D           D/C              G/B               C
  Just like everything, even good love had to die

D          D/C      G/B               C
  Ain't no sympathy when it said goodbye
[Chorus]
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
[Solo] | Am | C | Am | C | | Am | F | F | C | [Pre-Chorus 2]
D           D/C         G/B              C
  Just like everything, good love had to die

D          D/C      G/B               C
  Ain't no sympathy when it said goodbye
[Link]
Am                C
No one even cried,  we were one of a kind

C            Dm   F   C
  One of a kind
[Chorus]
C                             Dm      F                        C
  Love let 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
[Coda] C F C
