Ice water
Drink it down till it's gone
I saw her
Drink it down till it's gone
Oh well, there's always the second time around
So bitter
In my heart and in my mouth
She's a quitter
But I guess we're both quitting now
Oh well, there's always the second time around
It was hard to breathe
When she was holding me
Now she's gone and I can get no air
And those old butterflies
I guess they haven't died
Cause they're eating me alive in there
Please black leaf
Show me where you took my love
Please hurry
This old world, it ain't enough
Oh well, there's always the second time around
Oh well, there's always the second time around

version 3
Tuning:D G C F A D
Key:Ebm
Capo:4th fret
Tuning: D G C F A e
He also tunes the high E down to D but I found it easier to play with Open D
with a high E, rather than a
high D. It still sounds and plays exactly the same way he plays it. If you
want to play it exactly like him,
then tune the high E to a D and wherever you see an open high E played in the
tab, play the 7th fret on the A.

Ice water
Drink it down till it's gone
I saw her
Drink it down till it's gone
Oh well, there's always the second time around
So bitter
In my heart and in my mouth
She's a quitter
But I guess we're both quitting now
Oh well, there's always the second time around
It was hard to breathe
When she was holding me
Now she's gone and I can get no air
And those old butterflies
I guess they haven't died
Cause they're eating me alive in there
Please black leaf
Show me where you took my love
Please hurry
This old world, it ain't enough
Oh well, there's always the second time around
Oh well, there's always the second time around
