    D    G    D    A  
D                         G  
Louise only got from me innocent poetry
D                                                                      A  
Although she played to not listen
D                                                                         G  
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D                         A                      D  
Ever could offer the same
D                                                         G  
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
D                                                            A  
Although so foolish and willing
                  D                                                         G  
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
D                         A                              D  
Bow as the curtain went down
G                                                                      D  
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G                                                                                 A  
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
G                                                                         D  
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                                                                 A  
Then came a knock at the door
        D                                                         G  
“I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
D                                                                    A  
Bound like us all for the ocean
     D                                                                 G  
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
          D                                                                      A  
The man who would take her from me
D                                                 G  
Some they saw in me innocent poetry
D                                                            A  
Some, they'll never be certain
          D                                                                    G  
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
D                      A                    D  
Given and taken in ink
G                                                              D  
Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
G                                                                              A  
Cut 'em, they'll come back for more
     G                                                                 D  
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                                                                    A  
Then came the knock at the door
D                                                                                      A  
Blood made her heart change its beating
     D                                                                    G  
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
          D                                 A                            D  
The man she found better than me
