[Intro]
C/G Em G C/G Em G C/G Gsus2 G
[Verse 1]
G G
Her eyes and words are so icy
Em
Oh but she burns
C/G G
Like rum on the fire
G G
Hot and fast and angry
G
As she can be
Em C/G G
I walk my days on a wire.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C/G Em C/G Em
It looks ugly, but it's clean,
C/G Em Gsus2 G
Oh momma, don't fuss over me.
[Chorus]
C/G Em G
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
C/G Em G
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
C/G Gsus2 G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Verse 2]
G G
Calls of guilty fall on me
G Em
All while she stains
C/G G
The sheets of some other
G G
Thrown at me so powerfully
G Em C/G G
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.
[Pre-chorus 2]
C/G Em C/G Em
But I want it, it's a crime
C/G Em Gsus2 G
That she's not around most of the time.
[Chorus]
C/G Em G
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
C/G Em G
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
C/G Gsus2 G
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.

[Verse 3]
G G
Her fight and fury is fiery
G Em
Oh but she loves
C/G G
Like sleep to the freezing
G G
Sweet and right and merciful
G Em
I'm all but washed
C/G G
In the tide of her breathing.
[Pre-chorus 3]
C/G Em C/G Em
And it's worth it, it's divine
C/G Em Gsus2 G
And I have this some of the time.
[Chorus]
C/G Em G
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
C/G Em G
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
C/G Gsus2 G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
