I can't stand the way it opens when I spin
       F                                C            Fm

Ribbon bows around my shoulder, and I'm only getting older

When I'm coming home alone for the hundredth time or so
        G7                               C

It gets harder on my hard earned money’s dime
       F                            C           Fm

To the bottle in my basket, will it answer if I ask it:

Running around in circles made of sin

I've been drinking like my daddy
