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

Just like everything, even good love has to die

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