[Intro]
G C G
D7 G
[Verse 1]
G C G
Once, I lived a life of wine and roses
D7 G
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
C G
Success for me lay just around the corner
A7 D7
I thought my social friends could help me make the turn
[Chorus]
N.C. G C G
And now, I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
D7 G
A victim of the drunken life I chose
C G
Now, all my social friends look down their noses
D7 G
'cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
[Interlude]
G C G
D7 G
[Verse 2]
G C G
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
D7 G
The turn I took was not the one I planned
C G
And I watched my social standing slip away from me
A7 D7
As I watched the bottle slowly take command
[Chorus]
N.C. G C G
And now, I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
D7 G
A victim of the drunken life I chose
C G
Now, all my social friends look down their noses
