[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G D
I's standin' in the mornin' outside that Norfolk Southern Yard
G
Rollin' dice like a train, the wind was blowin' hard
D
I'm down 20 to the devil, hell I hope he'll take a check
G
I'll kiss his ass 'til I get level, then I'll break his neck
[Chorus 1]
C G
I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow
D G
I was cursed from the first with a thirst for the sweet wine of sorrow
[Verse]
G D
Ah there's things a man can do to himself where his own parents don't recognize his face
G
And there's things he does to everybody else that even true love can't erase
D
And you wind up scattered all in pieces and you spend your life tryin' to understand
G
When you figure it out you realize it's your selfishness between you and the promised land
[Chorus 2]
C G
I have drank from the cup of your soul like there ain't no tomorrow
D G
I been cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
C G
Hallelujah I'd trade anything I can beg steal or borrow
D G
I was cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
[Instrumental]
C Csus2 G D Dsus2 G
[Verse]
G D
Now I'm shattered on the sidewalk like them dishes that they brought
G
When you were swollen with my baby and your daddy bought that shotgun when we got caught
D
And now there ain't much that matters and to tell the truth I still don't understand
G
So I think I'll go down to Madame Moreass and just pretend you ever gave a damn
[Outro]
D C G
Baby I's cursed from the first with a thirst for that sweet wine of sorrow
