I step my feet from those hollers and vines

just what you had in mind
down my flask no not for sympathy

so please don't tempt me

I ain't had much in life
but drinks I've had plenty

and it's just like my heart
B7 Em
that son of a bitch is empty

the kiss you give so sweetly
I can feel you on my lips

you're the captain of this ship
Am
as you lay me down to rest
C B7 Em
what's left of my heart it skips
Em
imagine my face
when you take off your disguise
Am
It's the devils clothes you wear
C B7
and it should come as no surprise
Em
It's a jaded life I've made
now the well is running dry
Am
just these old sorry bones
C B7 Em
left to soak in gin and rye
Am
just these old sorry bones
C B7 Em
left to soak in gin and rye
Am
just these old sorry bones
C B7 Em
left to soak in gin and rye
