Let's make a toast to things that never happen

Tonight let's try to be the best of lovers

Cause tomorrow we'll just be the best of friends
[Chorus]
F C
I know you've got plans that don't include me

But still your fruit is sweet upon the vine

Just for old time's sake let me hold you

And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time

A Dm
I guess we should have known we'd never make it
G C A#
Baby our goals in life were never quite the same
A Dm
And as we sit here thinking about tomorrow
G
I know that neither of us is to blame
[Chorus]
F C
But I still get that feeling when I touch you
E7 Am C
And I can't help but wish that you were mine
F C
So press your tender lips against me softly
F G C A# F Am
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time

The grapes of wrath somehow always seem sweeter

When you steal 'em off of someone else's vine

So let me feel you lying close beside me
F G C A# F C
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
