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