^COnce I lived a life of ^Fwine and ^CRoses. I ^G7drank a lot back then for one ^Cconcern. Success for me lay ^Fjust around the corner. I thought my ^G7social friends would help me make the ^Cturn.

[Chorus]

^CNow I'm paying for the ^Fdays of wine and ^Cand roses. A v^G7ictim of the drunken life I ^Cchose. Now all my social ^Ffriends look down their ^Cnoses. Cause I ^G7kept the wine and through away the ^Crose.

[Instrumental] C F C G7 C

^CI stood by and watched the ^Fbottle take ^Ccontrol of me. The t^G7urn I made was not the one I ^Cplanned. And I watched my social ^Fstanding slip ^Caway from me. While I ^G7watched the bottle slowly take ^Ccommand. (repeat chorus)
