[Intro]
G  C G  C G  C G  C
 
[Verse 1]
 G     C      G    C   G     C       G    C
Empty, empty bottles, Lying side by side.
 G        C     G    C    G          C        G     C
Used up, empty bottles, Remembering long lost wine.
 
G          C     G     C  G      C     G    C
Keep our, empty bottles, Making empty wine.
 G       C     G      C  G      C      G
Marking our intentions. Sadly, out of time.
         Am                           G             C  G
And the summer will make you lazy, A day at a time.
          Am                G             C   G
And good company evades you, Passing you by.
 
[Chorus]
          D                     C
But I do love you, against all odds,
            D                  C
Though you don't know, what I want,
            G      C         G      C
We're much poorer than that bottle,
      G        C         G     C
More foolish, than that wine.
 
[Verse 2]
 G     C       G     C   G         C      G     C
Maybe, we can make it, Though we failed before.
 G        C        G   C   G      C        G
You keep getting closer, close to me once more.
         Am                       G             C  G
And I'll try to entertain you, A day at a time;
        Am                      G           C     G
Try to make myself much clearer, from your wine.
 
[Chorus]
          D                     C
But I do love you, against all odds,
            D                  C
Though you don't know, what I want,
        D              C
Seeing you, and seeing me,
            G      C         G      C
We're much poorer than that bottle,
      G        C         G     C
More foolish, than that wine.
