[Intro]

[Verse]
      C               A#                A
Let's make a toast to things that never happen
    Dm                                    G
And say goodbye to things that might have been
  C                  A#             A
Tonight let's try to be the best of lovers
      Dm                                 G
Cause tomorrow we'll just be the best of friends
 
[Chorus]
F                                    C
I know you've got plans that don't include me
    E7                                 Am   C
But still your fruit is sweet upon the vine
F                               C
Just for old time's sake let me hold you
          F                G              C
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
 
[Solo]
C    A#     F     G     C  A#
 
[Verse]
A                                         Dm
  I guess we should have known we'd never make it
G                                             C   A#
  Baby our goals in life were never quite the same
A                                    Dm
  And as we sit here thinking about tomorrow
  G
I know that neither of us is to blame
 
[Chorus]
    F                               C
But I still get that feeling when I touch you
      E7                                Am  C
And I can't help but wish that you were mine
   F                                 C
So press your tender lips against me softly
          F                G              C    A#  F  Am
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
 
*** Key change to C sharp sharp the chords or capo 1 ***
 
[Verse]
G
 
    C                   A#              A
The grapes of wrath somehow always seem sweeter
         Dm                              G
When you steal 'em off of someone else's vine
   F                             C
So let me feel you lying close beside me
          F                G              C    A#  F  C
And we'll sip that scarlet water one more time
