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
