D          Cadd9            G    Fadd9
And in the evening when you fade away

D              Cadd9         G      Fadd9
The same thing happens every single day

D               Cadd9                 G      Em   D
Cause when your dreams come true they pretty soon decay
[Verse 2]
D               Cadd9         G           Fadd9
There's nothing you can do to change your mind

D           Cadd9             G     Fadd9
You're disappearing or you're going blind

D               Cadd9               G  Em    D
And when you're gone there won't be anything behind
[Chorus]
         G        F               C                  G
Except a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

  G        F               C                  G
A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
[Verse 3]
D           Cadd9        G      Fadd9
You're disappearing in a purple fog

D      Cadd9                  G        Fadd9
It's a machine and you're its faithful cog

D             Cadd9         G          Em       D
You love your woman but you just don't love her dog
[Chorus]
                      G        F               C                  G
Which means you get a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

  G        F               C                  G
A skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
[Bridge]
Em        D          C       G
There you go putting up no resistance

         C                      G
You just wander off through the town

C                     Dsus4  D
Lock yourself out and drown

Em              D             C        G
But when you're gone, does it make any difference

           C           G
If there's nobody else around

    C              D    Dsus4  D
The only way up is down
[Verse 4]
D         Cadd9        G          Fadd9
The giant sun sets red behind the hay

D      Cadd9                 G        Fadd9
Like a balloon that has just lost its way

D         Cadd9              G             Em     D
You never dreamed that stuff would get you in its sway
[Chorus]
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
[Solo] D Cadd9 G Fadd9 D Cadd9 G Fadd9 D Cadd9 G Em D [Chorus]
          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine

          G        F               C                  G
Give me a skull, a suitcase, and a long red bottle of wine
[Outro]
C             G
Red bottle of wine
