Lyrics

Love on the rocks

ain’t no sur prise.

Pour me a drink, and I’ll (Em7)tell you some lies.

Got noth in’ to lose, so you (B7)just sing the blues

all the (E)time.

Gave you my heart,

gave you my soul.

You left me a lone here with (Em7)noth ing to hold.

Yes ter day’s gone.

Now all I want is a (E)smile.

First, they say they want you,

how they real ly need you.

Sud den ly, you find you’re out there, walk ing in a storm.

When they know they have you, then they real ly (A7)have you.

(D6)Noth ing you can do or say.

You’ve (A)got to leave, just get a way.

We all know the (E)song.

You need what you need,

you can say what you want.

Not much you can do (G)when the (Em7)feel ing is gone.

May be (F)blue skies a bove,

but it’s (B7)cold

when your love’s on the (E)rocks.

Love on the rocks

ain’t no sur prise.

Pour me a drink, and I’ll (Em7)tell you some lies.

Yes ter day’s gone,

and now all I want is a (E)smile.
