Dm C G/B C Am G C G/B
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
Dm C
And I said, constantly in the darkness
G/B
Where’s that at?
Am G G C G/B
If you want me I’ll be in the bar
C G/B
On the back of a cartoon coaster
Am
In the blue TV screen light
Dm C
I drew a map of Canada
C G/B Am
Oh Cana…da
Dm C G/B
And your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
F C/E
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm C
Oh and you taste so bitter and so sweet
C C G/B Am
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Dm C G/B
And I would still be on my feet
C F Am/G G Am/G F C/E
Oh I would still be on my feet
Dm C G/B C Am G C G/B
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Dm C
I’m frightened by the devil
G/B Am G G C G/B
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
C G/B
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Am
Love is touching souls
G C/E
Surely you touched mine
Dm C
Cause part of you pours out of me
G/B Am G G C G/B
In these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
F C/E
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm C
Oh and you taste so bitter and so sweet
C C G/B Am
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Dm C G/B
And I would still be on my feet
C F Am/G G Am/G F C/E
Oh I would still be on my feet
Dm C G/B C Am G C G/B
[Bridge]
C
I met a woman
G/B
She had a mouth like yours
Am
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
Dm
And she said
C G/B
Go to him, stay with him if you can
Am G G C G/B
Oh but be prepared to bleed
[Chorus]
F C/E
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm C
Oh and you taste so bitter and so sweet
C C G/B Am
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Dm C G/B
And I would still be on my feet
C F Am/G G Am/G F C/E
Oh I would still be on my feet Ooooh
Dm C G/B C Am G C G/B
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Oohh
