Verse 1:
C         F
We never sleep at night
           C             G
But we'll spend the days in bed
          C                         F
And you walk down the stairs ever so gingerly
          C                    G           C
Could've lived but I chose to love you instead

Chorus:
 C                   F
Fix me your poison, gin for your molly
  C                         G
Lime for your bruises and chalk for your holly
 C
Tell me you're sleeping
   D7
I can't if you won't
      C        G     C
Yeah you could be my own

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

Chorus:
  C                      F
Rats in your armchair, burrs in your cotton
  C                         G
Baby turn my engines from polished to rotten
 C                           D7
Promise you'll keep me in a box by the phone
      C        G      C
Yeah you could be my own

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

Chorus:
 C                      F
Love where you moving? Heart where you going?
       C                               G
Your clothes on the floor, yeah your bruises are showing
     C                     D7
Airplanes can take you to Paris or Rome
     C           G      C
But you'll still be my own

  C                         F
Bells in the boathouse, champagne and icing
       C                              G
It's just like the movies, yeah your parents are crying
       C                        D7
Our family's all gathered but we're getting stoned
       C        G      C
Yeah you could be my own
                   C          D7
I left all her pictures in a box by the road
    C        G      C
So you could be my own
