Lyrics

Wine Wears Off (Dm)

She’s lying in my bed
But my dreams are all long gone
There’s a pillow over her head
But my timing has gone all wrong

She showed up early this morning
She said she had no place to go
She was strung out, drunk and dirty
She told me that she loved me so

And how many lies have you told me
I decide that I just didn’t care
My friend she is down with the sickness
Well a friend will always be there

I fed her I bathed her and put her to bed
I sat in the corner of my room
I played soft sleepy time music
I brought her another drink at noon

She woke up to tell me her sad story
I listened I empathized
She asked me to massage her shoulders
Her back was bruised down to her thighs

And some lines you can’t uncross
I’m alone but I’m better off
I’m a man, but my hearts too soft
Cause her wine will soon wear off

Guitar

And some lines you can’t uncross
I’m alone but I’m better off
I’m a man, but my hearts too soft
Cause her wine will soon wear off

v3
As evening approached she got hungry
While I cooked, she got on the phone
She made plans that didn’t include me
She told me mama was calling her home

I called her a cab and I held her
I brushed back her locks of gold
She told me she loved me and kissed me
Then she got in the car and she was gone

I’ll be every bit as lonely when you are gone
Deprived of the harvest I had sown
I tried to shut my mind off but I know
Your game will leave my heart in its tow

Ending:

And how many lies have you told me
I decide that I just didn’t care
My friend she is down with the sickness
Well a friend will always be there

And some lines you can’t uncross
I’m alone but I’m better off
I’m a man, but my hearts too soft
Cause her wine will soon wear off
