Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin

   D         A                  G
It makes you blind, it does you in
   D         A                   G
It makes you think you're pretty tough
   D         A                  G
It makes you prone to crime and sin
   D         A                  G
It makes you say things off the cuff

[Verse]
          D                 A
It's very small and made of glass
    G       D         A
And grossly over-advertised
   G       D              A
It turns a genius into an ass
    G       D                A
And makes a fool think he is wise

[Verse]
   D          A               G
It could make you regret your birth
   D        A                   G
Or turn cartwheels in your best suit
   D       A                  G
It costs a lot more than it's worth
    D         A           G
And yet there is no substitute

[Verse]
             D           A
They keep it on a higher shelf
    G     D                A
The older and more pure it grows
   G      D          A
It has no color in itself
    G      D                A
But it can make you see rainbows

[Verse]
        D       A           G
You can find it on the Bowery
   D       A           G
Or you can find it at Elaine's
   D          A               G
It makes your words more flowery
   D         A                   G
It makes the sun shine, makes it rain

[Verse]
             D                 A
You just get out what they put in
    G      D           A
And they never put in enough
G       D                A
Love is like a bottle of gin
      G                A        D
But a bottle of gin is not like love
