1. So open promise fades
   Gm     Cm      Gm  Cm
   and the sun forgets to rise
   Eb             Gm
   I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
   Cm            Eb
   but it's better I stay dry
   Gm         Cm        Gm Cm
   No more than two drinks away from crying

2. Stare into the glass
   and wait for the time to pass
   I thank you for the offer
   but you know I must decline
   No more than two drinks away from crying

   Eb           Gm                Cm              Gm
*: There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high
   My life stretched out before me and rivers flowed with wine
   I had my love beside me and everything was fine
   Eb              Gm         Cm
   But now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye

3. So open promise fades
   and midnight turns to day
   I'd love to drown my sorrow
   but I cannot tell a lie
   No more than two drinks away from crying
