C G/B Am7
Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star"
Dm7 C
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
G/B Am7 G
Where' s that at? If you want me I' ll be in the bar"
C G/B Am7 Dm7
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in the blue TV screen light
C C/B Am7
I drew a map of Canada, oh Ca - na - da
Dm7 C G/B
With your face sketched on it twice
F Em
Oh, you&rsquo re in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
C C/B Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G/B C F
And I would still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet
C G/B Am7 Dm7
Oh I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints
C G/B Am7 G
I' m frightened by the devil 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
Dm7 C G/B Am7 G
&rsquo Cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time
F Em
Oh, you&rsquo re in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
C C/B Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G/B C F
Still I' d be on my feet, I would still be on my feet
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
Dm7 C G/B Am7 G
And she said "Go to him, stay with him if you can but be prepared to bleed"
F Em
Oh but you are in my blood, you' re my holy wine
Dm7 C
You' re so bitter, bitter and so sweet
C C/B Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G/B C F
Still I' d be on my feet, I would still be on my feet
