Tom: Am
Am E F C E
[Verse 1]
Am E
Wine, women, and song
F C E Am
I tried them all it did not take me long
E F C
To figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
E Am E
I figured wrong with a capital "R"
F C E Am
All the baggage I brought wouldn't fit in a mid-size car
E F
That's why I'm walking on eggshells down the Via Dolorosa
C E F
Hasn't got me any closer so far
[Chorus]
G F E7
Shacked up with a poet, found it wasn't my department
F G F D7
Now I study the poetry of the studio apartment
F G
Changing the catbox and baking the bread
F E7
I should have been paying the bills instead
F G Am
Of paying homage to an image drawn from somebody else's head
[Guitar Solo]
Am G F E (x2)
[Verse 2]
Am
Song, women, and wine
G F
You can't fool all the people all the time
F
But if you're trying, if you're looking, if you're lucky
E Am
You can always fool a few and feel fine,
Am
Is the line between shame and dread
G
One grips the lungs one brains the head
F E Am
But either one can crush you, anyone can crush you
[Chorus]
G F E Am
Once I dated an actor, she was working on a play
G F E Am
By opening night, we had nothing left to say to each other
G
We hit the wall, it was not resilient
F E
She said that she was hungrier than I was brilliant
Am G F E
And who the hell was I to disagree?
[Bridge]
Am E Am
Didn't you used to be someone who meant something to me?
E Am
Somebody who meant something to me
E Am
Someone who meant something to me
[Instrumental]
Am E F C E
[Outro]
Am E
Wine, women, and song
F C E Am
I tried them all it did not take me long
E F C
To figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
E Am
I figured wrong
