	        (C) Once I lived a life of (F) wine and (C)Roses. 
     I (G7) drank a lot back then for one (C) concern. 
     Success for me lay (F) just around the corner.  I 
     thought my (G7) social friends would help me make 
     the (C) turn. 
 
     
(C) Now I'm paying for the (F) days of wine and (C) and roses. A (G7) victim of the drunken life I (C) chose. Now all my social (F) friends look down their (C) noses. Cause I (G7) kept the wine and through away the (C) rose.
Interlude: (C F, C, G7, C) (C) I stood by and watched the (F) bottle take (C) control of me. The (G7) turn I made was not the one I (C) planned. And I watched my social (F) standing slip (C) away from me. While I (G7) watched the bottle slowly take (C) command. (repeat chorus)
