Alcohol

Am Here is a story about a sinner, He used to be a winner who enjoyed a life of prominence and E/B position, But the pressures at the office and his socialite engagements, Am And his selfish wife's fanatical ambition, A It turned him to the booze, And he got mixed up with a floosie Dm And she led him to a life of indecision.
