Up to now, I used to pass my time _ _
Drinking [D] beer so slowly, [G] _
sometimes wine
_ [Bm]
No God, air, [E] water or _ sunshine
_ [C#m] And honesty was my only [F#] excuse
_ _ _ _ [Bm] I took your love [D] _ and I [E]
used it
_ _ [A] Up to now, _ my youthful stage
_ A useless [D] range of tone, I've [G] been to one at least
_ A [Bm] dirty shade [A] of bitchy rain, I [E] have been [E] made
_ [C#m] And honesty was my only _ [F#] excuse
_ _ [F#] _ [Bm] I took your love [A] _ and [E] I used it
Yeah, _ _ _ _ yeah, [C#m] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, [G] yeah, yeah, yeah, [Bm] yeah
