Verse:
D                    Dm
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
C9     G    D
He's the one I see right through
D                  Dm
She's the absinthe on my lips
C9        G     D
The splinter in my fingertip

Chorus:
     F         C     Dm          D9
But who could do without you?
     F            C  C9  A9
And who could do without you?

Verse:
She's the sea I'm sinkin' in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins

Chorus:
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?

Bridge:
D               Dm               C9   G     D
Oh, we're a pretty, pretty pair, yes we are
D                      Dm                C9   G
All, all the king's horses and all of his men couldn't
        F         C     Dm  D9
        Tear us apart   Oooo
        F         C     C9    A9
        Aaaaah              Ooooo

Verse:
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Butterflies around the flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
