Verse:
D5                    D5
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
C5     G5    D5
He's the one I see right through
D5                  D5
She's the absinthe on my lips
C5        G5     D5
The splinter in my fingertip

Chorus:
     F5         C5     D5          D5
But who could do without you?
     F5            C5  C5  A5
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:
D5               D5               C5   G5     D5
Oh, we're a pretty, pretty pair, yes we are
D5                      D5                C5   G5
All, all the king's horses and all of his men couldn't
        F5         C5     D5  D5
        Tear us apart   Oooo
        F5         C5     C5    A5
        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
