[Verse]
EA stinking sun burned me awake
AThrough the shattered windowpane
EI recalled through eyes of claret red
He had Ataken me again
And the G#m7hair of the dog revives me
But I Afind it hard to C#mswallow
[Chorus]
It's a Amarriage made in heaven
Between A7me and the Ebottle
[Verse]
EA thousand words fell through my hands
And the Aroom just spins
EThis sodden mattress holds my heart
And Acradles my regrets
G#mI'll read it once again
For he Aknows that I'll not follow
[Chorus]
It's a Amarriage of convenience
Between A7me and the Ebottle
[Verse]
ESo King Alcohol's come back
With the Atraffic's mournful cry
And he Eswaggers, drunk and skinful
Through my Athroat all parched and dry
[Bridge]
And if G#m7I should die before I wake
I Apray the Lord my soul to take
Then AI could rest
AAnd never wake again in G#msorrow
[Chorus]
It's a Amarriage on the rocks
Between A7me and the C#mbottleC#m7

[Verse]

A stinking sun burned me awake

Through the shattered windowpane

I recalled through eyes of claret red

He had taken me again

G#m7

And the hair of the dog revives me

A C#m

But I find it hard to swallow

[Chorus]

It's a marriage made in heaven

A7 E

Between me and the bottle

[Verse]

A thousand words fell through my hands

And the room just spins

This sodden mattress holds my heart

And cradles my regrets

G#m

I'll read it once again

For he knows that I'll not follow

[Chorus]

It's a marriage of convenience

A7 E

Between me and the bottle

[Verse]

So King Alcohol's come back

With the traffic's mournful cry

And he swaggers, drunk and skinful

Through my throat all parched and dry

[Bridge]

G#m7

And if I should die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Then I could rest

A G#m

And never wake again in sorrow

[Chorus]

It's a marriage on the rocks

Between me and the bottle
