Bitter Wine

Intro: C   Dm   F   C  (2x)

G                 F             
We met some time ago, when we 
C               Am
were almost young
 Bm              Am            
It never crossed my mind to ask, 
               F             G
where did you come from?
G                 F             
I didn't have much money, so I 
C                Am
stole you a rose
  Bm                       Am     
You were dressed like an orphan, 
           F               G
in Salvation Army clothes
Pre-Chorus 1:
D                   C            
I never thought I'd lose ya, no -
    G                   C
 I'd rather go blind
D                   C            
I thought I saw the future, but 
    G                   C
the fortune teller lied
Chorus 1:
C                       Dm       
Your love was my salvation, it 
        F                 C
could always get me high

C                           Dm   
What was once holy water, tastes 
     F      Bb   F  C F C
like bitter wine
G                 F         
I know I wasn't funny, but you 
    C               Am
laughed at all my jokes
 Bm                    Am         
When I was choking on the words to
                          F        
 say, you shoved your finger down 
         G
my throat
G                 F             
The first night I said I loved 
C               Am
you, you told me to go to hell
 Bm                   Am       
You were giving me head, on that 
                          F     
creaky, old bed at the Ol' Duvol 
           G
Motel
Pre-Chorus 2:
D               C                
Just like everything ,even good 
G                   C
love has to die
D          C           G   
Ain't no sympathy when it says 
                C
goodbye


**Chorus 1
**Solo: Am   C   Am   C   Am   
**Pre-Chorus 2
F   F   C

Am                   C           
No one even cried, we're one of a
                      Dm   F     C
 kind, one of a kind
Chorus 2:
C                              Dm
Love left me stranded at the 
                 F               C
station and the last train's gone by
C                           Dm   
What was once holy water, tastes 
     F            C
like bitter wine
Chorus 3:
C                           Dm   
Your love was my salvation, it 
         F              C
could always get me high
C                                 
You take the "bag" of holy water, 
Dm              F             Bb   F
now all that's left is bitter wine
Ending:  C  F  C
