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

Ain't no sympathy when it sayes goodbye

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