Am  E  F  C E

[Verse 1]
Am               E
Wine, women, and song
  F                 C       E       Am
I tried them all it did not take me long
              E                    F         C
To figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
  E       Am                   E
I figured wrong with a capital "R"
        F                          C        E        Am
All the baggage I brought wouldn't fit in a mid-size car
                          E                  F
That's why I'm walking on eggshells down the Via Dolorosa
       C          E         F
Hasn't got me any closer so far

[Chorus]
                  G              F         E7
Shacked up with a poet, found it wasn't my department
F               G             F      D7
Now I study the poetry of the studio apartment
F                       G
Changing the catbox and baking the bread
  F                           E7
I should have been paying the bills instead
          F                        G                    Am
Of paying homage to an image drawn from somebody else's head

[Guitar Solo]
Am   G   F   E  (x2)

[Verse 2]
Am
Song, women, and wine
    G                                 F
You can't fool all the people all the time
F
But if you're trying, if you're looking, if you're lucky
        E                          Am
You can always fool a few and feel fine,
Am
Is the line between shame and dread
    G
One grips the lungs one brains the head
    F                         E                     Am
But either one can crush you, anyone can crush you

[Chorus]
                G              F            E    Am
Once I dated an actor, she was working on a play
           G             F               E    Am
By opening night, we had nothing left to say to each other
                        G
We hit the wall, it was not resilient
    F                               E
She said that she was hungrier than I was brilliant
    Am               G       F      E
And who the hell was I to disagree?

[Bridge]
                   Am             E                  Am
Didn't you used to be someone who meant something to me?
             E                  Am
Somebody who meant something to me
            E                  Am
Someone who meant something to me

[Instrumental]
Am E F C E

[Outro]
Am               E
Wine, women, and song
  F                 C       E       Am
I tried them all it did not take me long
                E                  F         C
To figure I'd unlocked the door to happiness
  E       Am
I figured wrong
