[Intro]
 
Em G Am Em x2
 
[Verse 1]
      Em         G                 
I was young, and fragile, when the 
Am          Em
liquor took hold
   Em         G              Am       
It came as a friend, but it left as a 
  Em
foe
         Em       G           Am   
And if I could go back to the very 
      Em
first sip
    Em             G              Am   
I'd clean up the wounds that the booze 
    Em
bandaged
 
Em G Am Em x2
 
    Em        G           Am       
Two fifths of whiskey to start the 
      Em
night off
     Em              G           Am    
Get drunk with the moon, go to bed with
      Em
 the sun
       Em          G         Am     
Next mornin', the taste of familiar 
     Em
regret
Em           G          Am           
Sip on the poison, slow death's what 
    Em
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           
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a 
 Em
crime

[Verse 2]
            Em        G             
There was a time when drinkin' felt 
     Am         Em
like makin' love
        Em            G              
Now that woman wants more , but I've 
Am      Em
had enough
    Em               G         Am      
I'm weary, and I'm a fool, for falling 
  Em
in temptation
   Em           G           Am        
It pulls on my strings and I lose the 
  Em
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           
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a 
 Em
crime
                G         Am           
'Cause when I relapse, it feels like a 
 Em
crime
 
Em N.C.
 
[Verse 3]
        Em        G             
I don't trust the bottle or its 
  Am              Em
intentions for my life
   Em             G             Am    
It wakes up the ghosts that my father 
        Em
left behind
         Em   G            Am   
And if I must return to my old, 
         Em
deranged ways
    Em           G              Am   
Get rid of the body, before the soul 
        Em
goes to waste
