[Verse 1]
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
