CAPO 5


C                               G
Just before our love got lost, you said
Am7                    G
"I am as constant as a northern star"
Dm7
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
C
Where's that at?
G
If you want me I'll be at the bar."

C                       G
On the back of a cartoon coaster 
Am7                     G
In the blue TV screen light 
Dm7             C
I drew a map of Canada 
       C/B        Am7
Oh Canada 
Dm                              C      G
With your face sketched on it twice 
F               G
Oh you're my blood you're my holy wine 
C                             Am7
You taste so bitter and so sweet 
                         C   C/B  Am7           
Oh I could drink a case of you darling 
Dm
And I would still be on my feet 
G                        C
Oh I would still be on my feet

C                       G
I am a lonely painter 
Am7                     G
I live in a box of paints 
Dm7             
I'm frightened by the devil 
C                               G
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid 

C                       
I remember that time you told me
G
"Love was touching souls" 
Am7                    G
Surely you touched mine 
Dm7                             C
'Cause part of you pours out of me 
G
In these lines from time to time 
F                     G
Oh, you're my blood, you're my holy wine 
C             G              Am7
You taste so bitter and so sweet 
                         C   C/B  Am7
And I could drink a case of you darling 
Dm
And I would still be on my feet 
G                       C
I would still be on my feet

C
I met a woman 
             G
She had a mouth like yours 
                 Am7
She knew your life 
                 G
She knew your devils and your deeds 
And she said 
Dm7           C
"Go to him , stay with him if you can 
        G
But be prepared to bleed" 

 

F                      G
Oh, you're my blood you're my holy wine 
C                               Am7
You taste so bitter and so sweet 
                        C   C/B  Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you darling 
Dm
And I would still be on my feet 
G                       C
I would still be on my feet
