Lost

(Intro) She’s just a tear I used to cry
G
Long before we said goodbye
A7 D
Now she’s just a lady that I used to know
When the bottle took her place
G
She was a mirror I had to face
A7 D
And a dream I dared to dream some time ago.
D A7
I lost her eyes to a whole bunch of Pina Coladas
D
After a few Margaritas I took all the blame
A7
For drinking Manhattans at three in the morning I lost her
D
Between the Vodka and the Gin and the Beer and Champagne
I lost her lips late one night on a Strawberry Daiquiri
Jack Daniels, Whiskey and Rum couldn’t help me that time
I lost her arms and her hands to a glass of Tequila
I lost her heart and her soul in a bottle of Wine
I lost a bet that our love would last forever
Sloe Gin and Tonic was making my heart hard to find
With two Bloody Mary’s I ran out of Vodka this morning
Losing my chances of drinking her off of my mind.
