C G/B
Just before our love got lost you said
Am7
"I am as constant as a northern star"
Dm C
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
G/B
Where's that at
Am7 G
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
C G/B
On the back of a cartoon coaster
Am7
In the blue TV screen light
Dm C
I drew a map of Canada
C C/B Am7
Oh Canada
Dm C G/B
With your face sketched on it twice
Chorus
F Em
Oh, you?re in my blood like holy wine
Dm C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
C C/B Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you and
Dm C G/B
Still I'd be on my feet
C F Am G Am FEm Dm C G C Am7 G Am7 G
I'd still be on my feet
C G/B
Oh I am a lonely painter
Am7
I live in a box of paints
Dm C
I'm frightened by the devil
G/B Am7 G
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
C G/B
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Am7
"Love is touching souls" Surely you touched mine
Dm C
Cause part of you pours out of me
G/B Am7 G
In these lines from time to time
Chorus
C G/B
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
Am7
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds And she said
Dm C
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
G/B Am7 G
But be prepared to bleed"
