Intro: D G, D G

G                    D            F#m            Bm Bm/A
I should have seen through it but you were so intent
G            D              F#m         Bm Bm/A
The nervous breakdown on an overworked bed
G             D          F#m      Bm Bm/A 
You couldn't wait to get over the edge

G A D

Chorus:
                        D
You were drunk on the silver
                    C Em
When he took your crown
G                A                            D
He took from you everything that wasn't tied down
                    D
You said he was an angel
                    C Em
With the chains of gold
G                        A             D   Dsus-D
Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

The clock of world is just a dream
Still I shouldn't be jealous of the ones who lay flowers at your feet
Yeah my desire has finally put you out of reach

You were drunk on the silver
When he took your crown
He took from you everything that wasn't tied down
You said he was an angel
With the chains of gold
Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

Bm                     G                  D   D/C#
Now all your saviours wait their turn in line
Bm                    G
While you sit in the corner
      D              A
And drink yourself blind

D         A         G            D
The last laugh has finally been had
G                        A
But it's not what you think
D         A         G            D
The last laugh has finally been had
G       A               D
And it don't taste so sweet

SOLO: Bm G D, Bm G D A, D A G D, G A D D/C#

Now you're finally on your own
Last thing he said to you was see you around

                       Em   F#m G A
You were drunk on the silver
                       Em   F#m G A
You were drunk on the silver
                       Em   F#m
You were drunk on the silver
G                          A                D
Now you're going to leave me with the last laugh

D A G D, G A D

G, D G
