[D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was drinking
When [G]I was with you
[D]Living it up when [G]the rent was due
With [Bm]nothing and [Am]no one to l[G]ive up to

[Verse 2]
[C#]You and me dying[F#m] on the vine
[C#]Holding hands and drin[F#m]king wine[G]
Now I'm not [D]the same[G][D][G]
[D]girl [G]I left behind with you

[Verse 3]
[D]Twelve bars behind us
[G]And twelve bars to go
[D]Bottles of beer lined up in [G]a row
[Bm]One for each h[Am]our [G]you didn't show

[Verse 4]
[C#]You and me dying[F#m] everyday
[C#]Getting high just [Fdim]to pass[C#] away[F#m]
But [G]that's not the reason [D]I couldn't s[G]tay with y[D]ou

[Verse 5]
[D]Now I am sober
[G]Now I'm alone
[D]Three years have gone by
since [G]you have gone
[Bm]Letting you [Am]go
Letting [G]me go on

[Verse 6]
But I'll [C#]raise a glass now
[F#m]to you and me
[C#]To to lift me higher [F#m]so I can see
[G]Which of these blessings [D]are [G]killing me
[D][G]
