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

Fm G# A#m C# G#
No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind
[Chorus 2]
G# A#m C# G#
Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by
G# A#m C# G#
What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine
[Chorus 3]
G# A#m C# G#
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
