C F C
Once I lived a life of wine and Roses.
G7 C
I drank a lot back then for one concern.
F
Success for me lay just around the corner. I
G7
thought my social friends would help me make
C
the turn.
[Chorus]
C F
Now I'm paying for the days of
C G7
wine and and roses. A victim of the
C
drunken life I chose. Now all my social
F C
friends look down their noses. Cause I
G7 C
kept the wine and through away the rose.
[Instrumental]
C F C G7 C
C F
I stood by and watched the bottle take
C G7
control of me. The turn I made was not
C
the one I planned. And I watched my social
F C
standing slip away from me. While I
G7 C
watched the bottle slowly take command.
(repeat chorus)
