_ _ _ _ The doctor sat me down [A] and said, I'm sorry, _ _ [E] it's really not the very best [B] of news.
[C#] You'll have to cut [B] back on the [E] sweeties, you've got type [A] 2 diabetes.
Worth of all, you'll have to [B] cut back on [E] the booze.
_ Now as you know I'm partial to [A] a sip of.
_ You can [E] imagine that this news [B] came as a blow.
_ _ [A] But I was not [B]
prepared for the [E] next [A] thing that he said.
It's your favourite [B] drink's the one that's got [E] to go.

For some reason your pancreas [A] stopped working. _
[E] Oh sorry but we do not know [B] the cause.
[C#] Now your blood sugar's [B] always high and [E] faulty insulin [A] is why.

So now I have to watch my [A] sugar intake.
And it's [E] just typical, my favourite [B] drink's the worst.
I [A] don't mind not [E] eating chocolate, I could give up quite [A] a lot.

[C#] Soap and cider [B] I'll abstain and [E] try my best not [A] to complain.
And after all, [B] there is always [E] single malt. _

_ [E] Many pills were took and many tests were [B] done.
_ [Em] With all [C#m] the evidence [Em] [B] combined, _ [E] doctor [A] changed his mind.
Said it's not [B] type 2 you've got, it's [E] type 1. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I asked in layman's terms where [A] does this leave us?
He [E] said it's pretty much the same place as [B] before.

[E] _ They just happen and we do the best we [B] can.

Like a scratch on [B] a guitar, [E] like a tattoo or a [A] scar.
It's the war [B] wounds tell the story of [E] a man. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
