(from "In the Reins" w/ Calexico)

D (xx0232@1)        GLouise (320003@1)only got from me innocent poetry
D (xx0232@1)         AAlthough (x02220@1)she played to not listen
D (xx0232@1)     GBut (320003@1)still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D (xx0232@1)        A (x02220@1)       D?
Ever could offer the same

Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
Although so foolish and willing
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
Bow as the curtain went down

G (320003@1)          DCoddle (xx0232@1)some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G (320003@1)               AFuck (x02220@1)'em, they'll come back for more
G (320003@1)         DI (xx0232@1)asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G (320003@1)           AThen (x02220@1)came a knock at the door

"I came for my woman," he came with a razor blade
Bound like us all for the ocean
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
The man who would take her from me

Some they saw in me innocent poetry
Some, some they'll never be certain
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
Given and taken in ink

Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
Cut 'em, they'll come back for more
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
Then came the knock at the door

Louise came to rescue me; listen, the irony:
Blood made her heart change its beating
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
The man she found better than me
