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

[Link]
G#m B C#m E B
No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind
[Chorus 2]
B C#m E B
Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
B C#m E B
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
[Chorus 3]
B C#m E B
Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high
B C#m E B
You take the bag of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine
