[Intro] | D | D | A7 | A7 | | D | D | [Verse 1]
D              G                D
Once I lived a life of wine and roses

       A7                              D
And I drank a lot back then for one concern

                   G               D
Success for me lay just around the corner

             E7                   E               A7
I thought my social friends would help me make me turn
[Chorus]
            D              G                D
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

  A7                           D
A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  G                       D
Now all my social friends look down their noses

        A7                               D
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[Break] | D A7 | A7 | A7 D | D | [Verse 2]
D                          G              D
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

    A7                              D
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

                        G               D
And I watched my social standings slip away from me

        E7                 E              A7
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
[Chorus]
            D              G                D
And now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

  A7                           D
A victim of the drunken life I chose

                  G                       D
Now all my social friends look down their noses

        A7                               D
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[Outro]
        A7                               D
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
