If your cold should ever turn A7warm
But the cDhances of Gyou ever Dchanging
Are as slim as your A7two loving Darms

As quickly as E7time will A7allow

And the wine seems to A7help me Dsomehow
So if I'm lucky I'll someday forget her
When the wine finally takes full control
It's not much of a future to look to
But I can't stand this pain in my soul

D G D

You can find me in a dim lighted bar-room

If your cold should ever turn warm

D G D

But the chances of you ever changing

A7 D

Are as slim as your two loving arms

Chorus:

D G D

So I'm turning off a memory

E7 A7

As quickly as time will allow

D G D

I'm turning off a memory

And the wine seems to help me somehow

So if I'm lucky I'll someday forget her

When the wine finally takes full control

It's not much of a future to look to

But I can't stand this pain in my soul
