[Verse 1]
A G D Bm
We met some time ago, when we were almost young
C#m Bm G D A
It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from?
A G D Bm
I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose
C#m Bm G A
You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em D A D
I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind
Em C#m D
I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied
[Chorus 1]
D Em G D
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
D Em G D
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
[Verse 2]
A G D Bm
I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes
C#m Bm G D A
When I was choking on the words to say, you shoved your finger down my throat
A G D Bm
The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell
C#m Bm G A
You were giving me head, on that creaky, old bed at the Ol'Duvol Hotel
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em D C#m D
Just like everything, even good love has to die
Em D C#m D
Ain't no sympathy when it sayes goodbye
[Chorus 1]
D Em G D
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
D Em G D
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine

Bm D Em G D
No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind
[Chorus 2]
D Em G D
Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
D Em G D
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
[Chorus 3]
D Em G D
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high

You take the bag of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
