Intro: C Dm F C (2x) 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 Pre-Chorus 1: D C G C I never thought I'd lose ya, no - I'd rather go blind D C G C I thought I saw the future, but the fortune teller lied Chorus 1: C Dm F C Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high C Dm F C What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine G F C Am I know I wasn't funny, but you laughed at all my jokes Bm Am F G When I was choking on the words to say, you shoved your finger down my throat G F C Am The first night I said I loved you, you told me to go to hell Bm Am F G You were giving me head, on that creaky, old bed at the Ol' Duvol Motel Pre-Chorus 2: D C G C Just like everything ,even good love has to die D C G C Ain't no sympathy when it says goodbye **Chorus 1 **Solo: Am C Am C Am F F C **Pre-Chorus 2 Am C Dm F C No one even cried, we're one of a kind, one of a kind Chorus 2: C Dm F C Love left me stranded at the station and the last train's gone by C Dm F C What was once holy water, tastes like bitter wine Chorus 3: C Dm F C Your love was my salvation, it could always get me high C Dm F C You take the "bag" of holy water, now all that's left is bitter wine Ending: C F C
