Now all my social friends look down their noses

Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

G C G

Once I lived a life...of wine and roses

Success for me lay just...around the corner

I thought my social friends would help me make me turn

CHORUS

NC G C G

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

A victim...of the drunken life I chose

VERSE TWO

G C G

I stood by and watched...the bottle take con-trol of me

D G

The turn I made was not...the one I'd planned

C G

And I watched my social standings slip away from me

A A7 D

While I watched the bottle slowly...take command

CHORUS

NC G C G

But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

A victim...of the drunken life I chose
