I Drink

Dm                            A7
I drink to drive away all the years 
I have hated
A7                             
The ambitions frustrated that no 
         Dm
longer survive
Dm                           A7
I drink day after day to the chaos 
behind me
A7                             
Yes, I drink to remind me that I 
           Dm
still am alive


[Chorus]
     D                       F#7  
So I give you a toast to the 
   Bm
endless confusions
       G        F#7               
To the lies and delusions that 
               Bm
have swallowed my life
       D                       F#7
Yes, I give you a toast to the 
          Bm
wine and the roses
       G      A7                  
To the deadly cirrhosis that can 
          Dm
cut like a knife


[Verse]
Dm                              
I drink to catch a gleam of the love
A7
 we degraded
A7                                
Of a life that has faded like the 
          Dm
vanishing moon
Dm                          A7
I drink as in a dream to my waning 
desire
A7                            
To the passionate fire that has 
                Dm
burned out so soon


[Chorus]
     D                       F#7  
I drink and I drown in the promise
     Bm
 you made me
       G          F#7          
All the times you betrayed me in 
       Bm
your anger and spite
       D                       F#7
When you took on the town when you
                 Bm
 looked for the action
       G      A7                  
When you took satisfaction like a 
             Dm
whore in the night

[Verse]
Dm                              
I drink to make-believe that my life
A7
 is worth living
A7                                
That the gods are forgiving at the
            Dm
 end of the day
Dm                               
I drink because I grieve for the 
A7
dreams when we started
A7                             
For the innocent-hearted who got 
              Dm
lost on the way


[Chorus]
        D                         
For the children unborn for their 
F#7          Bm
dead phantom faces
        G        F#7              
For our sterile embraces in the 
           Bm
tomb of your bed
     D                      F#7   
I drink and I mourn for the 
       Bm
harvest that failed
       G              A7          
For the ship that has sailed for 
                Dm
the hope that is dead


[Verse]
Dm                              
I drink to find a place where the 
A7
darkness can hide me
A7                             
Till the terror inside me can at 
          Dm
last disappear
Dm                          A7
I drink to my disgrace till oblivion
 claims me
A7                                
Till there's nothing that shames 
                       Dm
me till I'm blind to my fear


[Chorus]
       D                        
Yes, I drink till I burst in my 
F#7      Bm
own degradation
       G        F#7            
To the edge of damnation that is 
          Bm
waiting below
       D                        
Yes, I drink with a thirst that 
F#7          Bm
destroys and depraves me
  G           A7               
Engulfs and enslaves me and will 
            Dm
never let go


[Verse]
Dm                           
I drink until I'm lost and the 
  A7
street is my hideout
A7                                
Where I vomit my pride out till 
              Dm
I'm gasping for breath
Dm                              
I drink to count the cost of a life 
A7
I despair for
A7                                
Until God hears my prayer for the 
   Dm
compassion of death


[Chorus]
     D                       F#7  
So I spit out my bile at the gods 
    Bm
who demean us
       G       F#7               
At the silence between us at the 
Bm
love none can save
     D                        F#7 
For a life that is vile for a soul
         Bm
 that is ailing
      G           A7          
For a body that's failing as it 
                  Dm
heads for the grave

A                 Dm         
I drink without a care... drink

 your disgust
