C                       A#
With fire in my veins I laid down to rest
    F                    C
Not carein' if I live or die
                   A#
Woke up a freezing rain pouring down
   F                    C
So hard I can't open my eyes

       F                          G7
I been chased from the yards with dogs at my heels
F             G7         C
Searchin' for shelter at times
                                  A#
But there's nothin' so hard for a man on the bum
       C            G7         C
As the time between bottles of wine
                 G7         C
The time between bottles of wine

D7                      C
Beggin' for pennies for just one taste
       G7                       D7
Of the nectar that kills a mans soul
                    C
Sweet piece of mind excusing my pride
     G7                        D7
Just something to keep out the cold

              G7              A7
It's too late for me to start living again
    G7           A7      D7
The good life is too far behind
                     C
I never remember the things that I had
         D7           A7         D7
Till the time between bottles of wine
                 Am         D7   G7
The time between bottles of wine

   D7                     C
If momma could see me she wouldn't believe
  G7                D7
I even resemble her son
                           C
She worked all her life to make me a man
          G7                          D7
And she's proud of the job that she's done

G7                    A7
What one love created another destroyed
G7           A7         D7
It’s a story older than time
                      C
The tale of a man who just can't stand
    D7           Am         D7
The time between bottles of wine

                 Am         D7
The time between bottles of wine
                 Am         D7
The time between bottles of wine
                 Am         D7
The time between bottles of wine
