A Bm E F#m D A A Bm E F#m D A but i put it down , just as soon as i realised D A F#m oh that the hard times , they don’t get better D A F#m when life goes in the shadows of memories F#m E the dark times make it hard to remember D A all the reasons the good times ended D A F#m we remain where others cannot dwell D A F#m it’s not our place to fall where they fell F#m E A do you really think that makes anyone happy but yourself? Bm F#m D A oh this old gin sling left me high and dry Bm F#m D A so i put it back on the shelf for a little while F#m D A ah but i still pull it down every now and again E F#m D A not to toast what’s gone before , but to all that remains , yeah F#m D A oh always lost in memory , never to forget E F#m D A laying low with those ghosts is my only regret end
