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

Just like everything, even good love has to die

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