Capo 2

  G              C               G 
A loser doesn't always know he's losing
          G                                  D 
Till he's lost the game and it's too late to win
  G                 C                  G 
I hope I'll call in time and you'll forgive me
        C               D               G
Cause I want so much to come back home again


Chorus:
    G              C             G   
And I'll leave the bottle on the bar
   G                             D
If you'll take me back to start anew
G              C             G 
I'll leave the bottle on the bar
     C            D                 G 
I'll sober up and come back home to you

I stood by and let the bottle come between us
And I let it through me time and time again
Before I thought the wine was all I needed
But now I see just what a fool I've been.

Chorus
