    A#m                     C#
The gun is loaded when the glass is full
F#                       C#
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled
D#m                A#m            F   F# A
Off the wagon and back onto the stool
  A#m                      C#
I know that when I stare into your eyes
F#                 C#
I can see all the years of lies
D#m                    A#m       C7   F
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised

          F#
All the friends that
          A#m
I've ever known
          F#
Are the streetlamps
         A#m
I follow home
        F#      G#
And I'm in the crowd
        C#   D#m
but I'm all alone
    C#     F
Oh Lord I just can't


Chorus:
A#m                        C#
   Tear the moon from the stars tonight
F#                      C#
   Twist my arm like a knife tonight
D#m                       A#m
   And if you wanna leave that's alright
       F                    F#         D#m
  Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

His fate was written on a neon sign
A DUI never changed his mind
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line
You never gave yourself a chance to shine
Your destination’s a chalk outline
And when you get to the gates, you’ll be denied

All the friends that I’ve ever known
Are the street lamps I follow home
And I’m in the crowd but I’m all alone

Chorus:
Oh, Lord, I just can’t
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine

Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine

         F#                          A#m
All the friends that I've ever known
          F#                      A#m
Are the streetlamps I follow home
     F#         A#m
The tide keeps pulling me down
   F#     A#m
I try to reach higher ground
     F# G#  C#          D#m
I'll never give up and drown
      C#       F
Even though I just can't

Chorus:
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine

Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave, that’s alright
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine

Tears into wine
Tears into wine
Well, I’ll just turn these tears into wine
