Intro:    G

G                          D
You're my water, you're my wine
            C                    G
You're my whiskey from time to time
                          D
You're the hunger on my bones
        C                   G
Al the nights I sleep alone

            C
Sweet intoxication
                           G
When your words wash over me
                   C         D
Whether not your lips move
               G
You speak to me

G                       D
Like an ocean without waves
             C                 G
You're the movement that I crave
                               D
And in that motion I long to drown
         Am  D                 G
And be lost    never to be found

D-G-D-C-G    

G                           D
You're my water, you're my wine
            C                    G
You're my whiskey from time to time
