[Intro] Am Dm x2 [Chorus]
   Am       Dm      Am
As hope and promise fades

        Dm Dsus4 Dm  Am
and the sun forgets to rise

    Dm     Dsus4   Dm
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty

E
but it's better I stay dry
[Bridge]
             Am         Dm
Never more than two drinks away

     Am
from crying
[Verse 1]
Am      Dm     Am
Stare into the glass

     Dm      Dsus4 Dm  Am
and wait for the time to pass

    Dm        Dsus4   Dm
And thank you for the offer

E
but you know I must decline
[Bridge]
                 Am         Dm
Never more than two drinks away

     Am
from crying
[Verse 2]
      Dm           Dsus4  Dm
There used to be a time

             Am
When I could hold my head up high

   Dm             Dsus4     Dm
My life stretched out before me

E
and rivers flowed with wine

Dm  Dsus4       Dm
and had my love beside me

Am
and everything was fine

    Dm                  E
But now the ride is over

                            Am
It's hard to say goodbye
[Chorus]
    Dm        Am
As hope and promise fade

    Dm Dsus4 Dm  Am
and midnight turns to day

    Dm      Dsus4    Dm
I'd love to drown my sorrow

Am
but I cannot tell a lie

             E         Dm
No more than two drinks away

     Am
from crying
