A       E               A
Well, I ran all way home from Baltimore
   D                               E
To beg you to forgive me just once more
    A                                               D
The way I've treated you I know you couldn't let me stay
                    E               A
I guess I drank our precious love away


[Chorus]
  D                           A
I guess I drank away the only love and life worthwhile
    D                              A                  E
But you know when I'm sober, being mean just ain't my style
A                                            D
I'm so sorry baby, I don't know what else to say
  D                 E               A
I guess I drank our precious love away

[Verse 2]
        A              E            A
We were getting closer than we ever dreamed
    D                          E
And then I let bottle come between
  A                                                    D
I knew I'd finally gone too far, the night I heard you say
                        E               A
You fool, you drank our precious love away


[Chorus]
    D                                 A
But if you give me one more chance it won't be like the past
       D                                 A               E
You've seen me take a million but you've seen me take my last
    A                                                D
And with your help tomorrow I'll be stronger than today
                       E               A
Don't let me drink our precious love away


[Outro]
      D                E               A    D  A
Don't let me drink our precious love away.
