 G              C                G 
Once I lived a life of wine and roses
      D7                            G 
And I drank a lot back then for one concern
               C                   G 
Success for me lay just around the corner
  A7                                               D7 
I thought my social friends would help me make the turn
 
            G              C                G 
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
  D7                           G 
 A victim of the drunken life I chose
                  C                       G 
Now all my social friends look down their noses
        D7                               G          
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
 
                           C           G                
I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me
    D7                              G 
The turn I made was not the one I'd planned
                        C              G 
And I watched my social standings slip away from me
        A7                             D7 
While I watched the bottle slowly take command
 
            G              C                G 
But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses
  D7                           G 
 A victim of the drunken life I chose
                  C                       G 
Now all my social friends look down their noses
        D7                               G                                 
Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
