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

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