We never sleep at night
      C majorC       G+G
But we'll spend the days in bed
     C majorC             FF
And you walk down the stairs ever so gingerly
     C majorC          G+G      C majorC
Could've lived but I chose to love you instead

Chorus:
 C majorC          FF
Fix me your poison, gin for your molly
 C majorC             G+G
Lime for your bruises and chalk for your holly
 C majorC
Tell me you're sleeping
  D7D7
I can't if you won't
   C majorC    G+G   C majorC
Yeah you could be my own

Verse 2:
          C majorC          FF
The way that you smile when something pleasant is up in your mind
    C majorC             G+G
And you put your tiny lips to my ear
     C majorC               FF
We could break this old routine, this apartment you and me
      C majorC     G+G   C majorC
We could leave this town my dear

Chorus:
 C majorC           FF
Rats in your armchair, burrs in your cotton
 C majorC             G+G
Baby turn my engines from polished to rotten
 C majorC              D7D7
Promise you'll keep me in a box by the phone
   C majorC    G+G   C majorC
Yeah you could be my own

Verse 3:
       C majorC       FF
Would you burn all the crows in my fields?
C majorC      FF
 And sing me to sleep
      C majorC             G+G
You won't ever have to walk, cause my cars just down the block
    C majorC          G+G          C majorC
And Japan's only two weeks away if you travel by sea

Chorus:
 C majorC           FF
Love where you moving? Heart where you going?
    C majorC                G+G
Your clothes on the floor, yeah your bruises are showing
   C majorC           D7D7
Airplanes can take you to Paris or Rome
   C majorC      G+G   C majorC
But you'll still be my own

 C majorC             FF
Bells in the boathouse, champagne and icing
    C majorC               G+G
It's just like the movies, yeah your parents are crying
    C majorC            D7D7
Our family's all gathered but we're getting stoned
    C majorC    G+G   C majorC
Yeah you could be my own
          C majorC     D7D7
I left all her pictures in a box by the road
  C majorC    G+G   C majorC
So you could be my own
