Intro:

Am G F C Em7
Am
G F
Here I sit at the fire
C G6 Am
Liquor's bitter flames warm my languid soul
G F
Here I drink alone and remember
C Em7 Am
A graven life, the stain of her memory
G F
In this cup, love's poison
C G6 Am
For love is the poison of life
G F
Tip the cup, feed the fire,
C Em7
And forget about useless fucking hope. . .
Am Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of love
G F Am
The passions we reap and sow
Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of life
G F Am
This path that we walk. . .
G F C G6
Am G F C Em7 Am
G F
Here's to love, the sickness
C G6 Am
The great martyr of the soul
G F
Here's to life, the vice
C Em7 Am
The great herald of misery
G F
In this cup, spiritus frumenti
C Em7 Am
For this is the nectar of the spirit
G F
Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow
C Em7
And forget about cold yesterdays. . .
Am Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of love
G F Am
The passions we reap and sow
Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of life
G F Am
This path that we walk. . .
Am Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of love
G F Am
The sorrows we reap and sow
Em7 G Am
Lost in the desolation of life
G F Am
This path that we walk. . .
