Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Beginner



   C majorC                   A minorAm
Her eyes and words are so icy, oh, but she burns
   FF     C majorC
Like rum on a fire
 C majorC
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
A minorAm     FF     C majorC
I walk my days on a wire


Dm7Dm7       E minorEm
  It looks ugly, but it's clean
Dm7Dm7         E minorEm    G+G
  Oh mamma, don't fuss over me

C majorC             Am7Am7     C majorC
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
C majorC          Am7Am7      C majorC
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
   FF    A minorAm    E minorEm    A minorAm    C majorC
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine


 C majorC                     A minorAm
Calls of guilty thrown at me all while she stains
   FF       C majorC
The sheets of some other
 C majorC                    A minorAm
Thrown at me so powerfully just like she throws
     FF     C majorC
With the arm of her brother


Dm7Dm7       E minorEm
  But I want it, it's a crime
Dm7Dm7            E minorEm     G+G
  That she's not around most of the time


C majorC             Am7Am7     C majorC
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
C majorC          Am7Am7      C majorC
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
   FF    A minorAm    E minorEm    A minorAm    C majorC
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

[Guitar Solo]


   C majorC                  A minorAm
Her fight and fury's fiery, oh, but she loves
    FF      C majorC
Like sleep to the freezing
 C majorC                     A minorAm
Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed
    FF      C majorC
In the tide of her breathing


Dm7Dm7         E minorEm
  And it's worth it, it's divine
Dm7Dm7       E minorEm      G+G
  I have this some of the time


C majorC             Am7Am7     C majorC
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
C majorC          Am7Am7      C majorC
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
   FF    A minorAm    E minorEm    A minorAm
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
