Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

So open promise fades

 and the sun forgets to rise

 I'm lonely and I'm thirsty

 but it's better I stay dry

 Never more than two drinks away

 from crying

Verse 2

Stare into the glass

 and wait for the time to pass

 And thank you for the offer

 but you know I must decline

 Never more than two drinks away

 from crying

Bridge

 There used to be a time

 When I could hold my head up high

 My life stretched out before me

 and rivers flowed with wine

 I had my love beside me

 and everything was fine

 But now the ride is over

 It's hard to say goodbye

Verse 3

So open promise fades

 and midnight turns to day

 I'd love to drown my sorrow

 but I cannot tell a lie

 Never more than two drinks away

 from crying
