Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Closer to death
Been many [Am]miles since we last met
Still, it [D]seems like I stood [Em]still
as [C]time passed [G]by
That year my pride did sting
'Cause for a young [Am]man,
it's a terrible thing
To [D]realise for the first [Em]time
that his [C]mother was right
[G]

[Verse 2]
Oh [Am]this old gin [Em]sling will
keep me [C]satis[G]fied
Ah yeah, the [Am]cold air won't [Em]blow
and I can [C]close my eyes
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Ah [G]she came to me
Her eyes [Abdim]full of sorr[Am]ow
and empty of sleep
And [D]asked how it seemed [Em]I'd been
[C]doing al[G]right [C](and I [G]laughed)
It [C]was a [G]trick that she taught me
I drink so that [Am]I sleep
without having dreams
And [D]when I wake up in the morn[Em]ing,
[C]oh it is [G]all I can do to [C]sur[G]vive
[Abdim]Oh

[Verse 4]
[Am]this old gin [Em]sling
keeps me [C]satis[G]fied
Though it hurts [Am]me more than I k[Em]now
and takes [C]away my [G]mind[C][G]
Oh but the [Em]closer I get [C]to home,
fills me with [G]dread just to [D]know
I'll be [Em]alone with [C]a
bottle on [G]the shelf

[Verse 5]
[G]All right...

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][D][Em][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
But I put [D]it down,
[Em]just as soon[C] as I real[G]ised[C][G]
Oh that the [C]hard times,
they [G]don't get bet[Em]ter
When [C]life goes in the shad
[G]ows of mem[Em]ories
The dark times make it [D]hard to remember
All the [C]reasons the good [G]times ended
[C]We remain where [G]others can[Em]not dwell
It's [C]not our place to [G]fall
where they [Em]fell
Do you really think that makes
[D]anyone happy but yourself?
[G]

[Verse 7]
Oh [Am]this old gin [Em]sling left
me [C]high and [G]dry[C][G]
So I put it [Am]back on the shelf
[Em]for a litt[C]le while[G]
Ah but I [Em]still pull [C]it down
every now [G]and again
Not to [D]toast what's gone be[Em]fore,
but to [C]all that [G]remains, yeah
Oh al[Em]ways lost [C]in memory, never to forget
[G]Laying low[D] with those
[Em]ghosts is my [C]only regret
