INSTRUMENTAL INTRO (PLAY LINES BELOW INSTRUMENTALLY)
G C G
Now all my social friends look down their noses
D D7 G
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
VERSE ONE
G C G
Once I lived a life...of wine and roses
D G
And I drank...a lot back then for one concern
C G
Success for me lay just...around the corner
A A7 D
I thought my social friends would help me make me turn
NC G C G
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
D G
A victim...of the drunken life I chose
C G
Now all my social friends look down their noses
D D7 G
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
INSTRUMENTAL TURNAROUND (PLAY LINES BELOW INSTRUMENTALLY)
G C G
Now all my social friends look down their noses
D D7 G
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
VERSE TWO
G C G
I stood by and watched...the bottle take con-trol of me
D G
The turn I made was not...the one I'd planned
C G
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
A A7 D
While I watched the bottle slowly...take command
CHORUS
NC G C G
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
D G
A victim...of the drunken life I chose
C G
Now all my social friends look down their noses
D D7 G
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
TAGG
D D7 G G
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
