Verse:
Db Db
Her eyes and words are so icy
Bbm
Oh but she burns
Gb Db
Like rum on the fire
Db Db
Hot and fast and angry
Db
As she can be
Bbm Gb Db
I walk my days on a wire.
Pre-Chorus:
Gb Bbm Gb Bbm
It looks ugly, but it's clean,
Gb Bbm Ebm Db
Oh momma, don't fuss over me.
Chorus:
Gb Bbm Db
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Gb Bbm Db
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Gb Ebm Db
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Verse:
Db Db
Calls of guilty fall on me
Db Bbm
All while she stains
Gb Db
The sheets of some other
Db Db
Thrown at me so powerfully
Db Bbm Gb Db
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.
Pre-Chorus:
Gb Bbm Gb Bbm
But I want it, it's a crime
Gb Bbm Ebm Db
That she's not around most of the time.
Chorus:
Gb Bbm Db
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Gb Bbm Db
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Gb Ebm Db
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Verse:
Db Db
Her fight and fury is fiery
Db Bbm
Oh but she loves
Gb Db
Like sleep to the freezing
Db Db
Sweet and right and merciful
Db Bbm
I'm all but washed
Gb Db
In the tide of her breathing.
Pre-Chorus:
Gb Bbm Gb Bbm
And it's worth it, it's divine
Gb Bbm Ebm Db
And I have this some of the time.
Chorus:
Gb Bbm Db
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Gb Bbm Db
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Gb Ebm Db
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
