So  open promise fades
 and the sun  forgets  to rise
 I'm lonely  and I'm thirsty
 but it's better  I stay dry
 Never more than two  drinks away
 from crying
Stare into  the glass
 and wait  for the time  to pass
 And thank  you for the offer
 but you know  I must decline
 Never more than two  drinks away
 from crying
 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
 But now  the ride  is over
 It's hard  to say goodbye
So  open promise fades
 and midnight turns  to day
 I'd love  to drown my sorrow
 but I cannot  tell a lie
 Never more than two  drinks away
 from crying

[Em]So open [Am]promise [Em]fades    [Am]
and the [Em]sun for[Am]gets to [Em]rise   [Am]
I'm [C]lonely and I'm [Em]thirsty
but it's [Am]better I stay [Em]dry
Never more than [Em]two drinks [Am]away
from [Gm]crying

[Em]Stare [Am]into the [Em]glass    [Am]
and [Em]wait for the [Am]time to [Em]pass   [Am]
And [C]thank you for the [Em]offer
but you [Am]know I must [Em]decline
Never more than [Em]two drinks [Am]away
from [Gm]crying

There [C]used to be a [Em]time
When I could [Am]hold my head up [Em]high
My [C]life stretched out [Em]before me
and [Am]rivers flowed with [Em]wine
I [C]had my love [Em]beside me
and [Am]everything was [Em]fine
But [C]now the [Em]ride is over
It's [Am]hard to say goodbye

[Em]So open [Am]promise [Em]fades    [Am]
and [Em]midnight [Am]turns to [Em]day    [Am]
I'd [C]love to drown my [Em]sorrow
but I [Am]cannot tell a [Em]lie
Never more than [Em]two drinks [Am]away
from [Gm]crying
