D
There?s never a star in this sky
                     A
Never a boat in this sea
Only the voice of a thousand lies
G                        D 
Choking the truth out of me

Until I?ve fallen immune to her lies
Or learned to turn a deaf ear to her pleas
I will never begin to be satisfied
She?ll never again let me be
               A
Don?t let her turn your temperance 
  G                        D
Away from the simple and sound
             A       G        D
Or she will damn you darkly down
                                G
At the bottom of the bottle it makes no difference
D
If I keep drinkin? or drown
      A                G                    D           
Cause I can?t go much lower than I am right now
        G              D
By the time I find my home
             A                D
I?ll be all scars and broken bones
                G                D
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
              A           G                D
Voice like a freight train?s cold whistle moan

No, no I cannot promise nothing
        G               D
That I cannot know for sure
I won?t say never or forever
        A
I have told those lies before
              D
Please don?t ask me to proclaim, my love
         G                 D
That my love for you will grow
          G                 D
That I desire to love you ?til I die
            A       G       D
Ain?t that all you need to know

But your desires burn like fires
           G               D
Then they quickly flicker down
And all the while your constant smile
            A
Will never show the fires went out
              D
And when they do you won?t come home one night
           G              D
And you?ll leave me all alone
           G           D
So don?t tell me of desire my love
         A            G    D
Tell me true, you?ll never go

Or by the time you find your home 
You?ll be all scars and broken bones
A head full of lies, a heart of stone
Voice like a freight train?s cold whistle moan
