Verse 1:
        G                           C        G
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
     G                        C
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,
         G                    C
I would love you forever but woman I plead,
      G           D          C         G
just love me and hold me and then let me be,
        G                           C        G
I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work,
     G                     C
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
     G                     C
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
           G          D          C         G
would you love me and hold me and then let me be

Chorus:
       Em           D           C       G
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
       Em           D           C          G
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
        D          G         D         G
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
           Em           G              D           G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
           Em           G              D           G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?

Verse 2:
         G                         C       G
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend,
         G                     D
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,
         G                     C
I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
         G             D           C              G
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell,
         G                          C          G
I would treat you like an angel and say all the things,
         G               D
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,
         G                     C
I would love you with all of my heart if you would,
      G          D          C           G
just love me and hold me and leave me for good,

Chorus:
       Em           D           C       G
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
       Em           D           C          G
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
        D          G         D         G
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
           Em           G              D           G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
           Em           G              D           G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
