You split your women into two

One, angels first, then prostitutes
C                   Cm
Your wife is going to fly away
C                     G
Your lover's going to make you pay

You think you can have it your own way

Many miles away from the day-to-day crime
A7          A7       Cm       Cm
Pure in its dirt the darkness unfold
C           G       C       A7
You've been digging deep to find this gold

A7                    Am
It's a lust that tarnishes too quick
C                        G
You've done the deed and you feel sick
