Intro

Em G Am Em x2

Verse 1
      Em         G                 Am          Em
I was young, and fragile, when the liquor took hold
   Em         G              Am         Em
It came as a friend, but it left as a foe
         Em       G           Am         Em
And if I could go back to the very first sip
    Em             G              Am       Em
I'd clean up the wounds that the booze bandaged

Em G Am Em x2

    Em        G           Am             Em
Two fifths of whiskey to start the night off
     Em              G           Am          Em
Get drunk with the moon, go to bed with the sun
       Em          G         Am          Em
Next mornin', the taste of familiar regret
Em           G          Am               Em
Sip on the poison, slow death's what you get

Chorus
        G         Am               Em
But the craving is worse than last time
   G               Am      Em
If I don't quit soon it'll claim me for life
    G          Am           Em
I'm scared to try one more time
                G         Am            Em
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a crime

G Am Em x2

Verse 2
            Em        G                  Am         Em
There was a time when drinkin' felt like makin' love
        Em            G              Am      Em
Now that woman wants more , but I've had enough
    Em               G         Am        Em
I'm weary, and I'm a fool, for falling in temptation
   Em           G           Am          Em
It pulls on my strings and I lose the hesitation

Chorus
        G         Am               Em
But the craving is worse than last time
   G               Am      Em
If I don't quit soon it'll claim me for life
    G          Am           Em
I'm scared to try one more time
                G         Am            Em
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a crime
                G         Am            Em
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a crime

Em N.C.

Verse 3
        Em        G               Am              Em
I don't trust the bottle or its intentions for my life
   Em             G             Am            Em
It wakes up the ghosts that my father left behind
         Em   G            Am            Em
And if I must return to my old, deranged ways
    Em           G              Am           Em
Get rid of the body, before the soul goes to waste
