“Two Drink Minimum” – Chris Cornell
{Chords by Joan’s Genius 2009}

Verse 1:
               
So open promise fades
                     
and the sun forgets to rise
                                    
I'm lonely and I'm thirsty
                     
but it's better I stay dry
                               
No more than two drinks away from crying

Verse 2:
              
Stare into the glass
                        
and wait for the time to pass
                  
I thank you for the offer
                     
but you know I must decline
                               
No more than two drinks away from crying 

Bridge:
                                               
There used to be a time when I could hold my head up high
                                                 
My life stretched out before me and rivers flowed with wine
                                     
I had my love beside me and everything was fine
                                                 
But now the ride is over, it's hard to say goodbye

Verse 3:
               
So open promise fades
                     
and midnight turns to day
                    
I'd love to drown my sorrow
                       
but I cannot tell a lie
                               
No more than two drinks away from crying
