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

Just like everything, even good love has to die

Ain't no sympathy when it sayes goodbye
[Link]
A#m C# D#m F# C#
No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind
[Chorus 2]
C# D#m F# C#
Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
C# D#m F# C#
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
[Chorus 3]
C# D#m F# C#
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
C# D#m F# C#
You take the bag of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
