Verse:
D MajorD G+G
She stood like a wolf in the doorway
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
The others laid bare on the ground
E MajorE G+G C majorC
Now she makes her bed out of Brooklyn instead
G+G
And I sleep with the goddamn hounds
D MajorD G+G
Her voice for a moment of lenience
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
And her words for the coin in your jar
E MajorE G+G C majorC
And while she pays her dues as another man's muse
G+G
I still can't tell my head from my heart
Chorus:
D MajorD
Can I know all that I am?
C majorC G+G
Lest I forget I'm a decent man
Verse:
D MajorD G+G
Now she drinks and I smoke as we please to
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
While the other men fall to their knees
E MajorE G+G C majorC
And a trifling part in the back of my heart
G+G
Says if ever that coward is me
D MajorD G+G
Maybe if I begged some old saint for her patience
E MajorE D MajorD F#F#
And then sold it to pay for her time
E MajorE G+G C majorC
'Til I wake up one day and to all my dismay
G+G
That old face in the coffin is mine
Chorus:
D MajorD
Can I know all that I am?
C majorC G+G
Lest I forget I'm a decent, oh, I'm a decent man
D MajorD G+G
