“Con stant ly in the dark ness, where’s that (Ab)at?

(Bbm7)If you want me I’ll be in the (Absus4)bar.”

On the back of a car toon (Ab)coas

in the blue T.

V.

screen light,

I drew a map of (Db)Ca na da.

(Ab)Oh (Db)Ca (Ab)na (Bbm)da,

with (Gb)your face sketched on it twice.

Oh, you are in my blood like ho

ly wine, you taste so bit ter

and so sweet.

Oh, I could drink a case of you,

dar ling, and I would still be on my feet, oh, I would (Ab)still be on my feet.

Oh,

I am a lone

I live in a box of paints,

I’m fright ened by the dev il,

and I’m (Ab)drawn to those (Absus4)ones that (Ab)ain’t a (Absus4)fraid.

I re mem ber that time you told me, you said (A)“Love is touch (Bbm7)ing souls.”

Sure ly you touched mine ’cause part of you pours out of me

in these lines from time to time.

Oh,

Oh, I could drink a case of you,

I live in a box of paints,

I’m fright ened by the dev il,

and I’m (Ab)drawn to those (Absus4)ones that (Ab)ain’t a (Absus4)fraid.

I re mem ber that time you told me, you said (A)“Love is touch (Bbm7)ing souls.”

Sure ly you touched mine ’cause part of you pours out of me

in these lines from time to time.

Oh,

I met a (Db)wo man, she had a mouth like yours, (A)she knew your (Bbm7)life,

she knew your de vils and your de mons.

And she said, “Go to him, stay with him if you can,

but be pre pared to (Ab)bleed.”
