G F C Am We met some time ago, when we were almost young Bm Am F G It never crossed my mind to ask, where did you come from? G F C Am I didn't have much money, so I stole you a rose Bm Am F G You were dressed like an orphan, in Salvation Army clothes Dm C G/B C I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied Chorus: C Dm F C Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high C Dm F A# F What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine I know i wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes When i was chaking on the words to say You shoved your finger down my throat The first night i said i loved you, you told me to go to hell You were giving he head, on that creeky Old bed at the ol'duvol motel Chorus Just like everything, even good love has to die Ain't no sympathy when it sayes goodbye No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind Chorus: Love let me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine 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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm A# C Dm F G B Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
