[Intro] D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Bm Bmadd11/E Bm Bmadd11/E Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em A6/E A A6/E A [Verse 1]
     D                   Dsus2
At first you seemed just like my dream

      D              Dsus2
Of a fine and better life

     Bm               Bmadd11/E
Much more than I could ask for

      Bm        Bmadd11/E
In a lover or a wife

      Emadd9           Em
Though I work with my body

      Emadd9                Em
And my work makes my hands rough

              A6/E           A
But there are gentle things inside me

          A6/E        A
That are anything but tough
[Verse 2]
             D              Dsus2
There are lessons you could teach me

  D             Dsus2
Things I do not know

  Bm              Bmadd11/E
Things I've never done girl

      Bm            Bmadd11/E
And places we could go

       Emadd9             Em
But you only wear your tailored suits

  Emadd9           Em
For me to rip and tear

  A6/E               A
Aw can't I hold you quietly

    A6/E               A
And smell your perfumed hair
[Chorus 1]
   D             Dsus2
I saw you as the answer

         D            Dsus2
That I never dared to dream

  Bm           Bmadd11/E
I saw you as a window

        Bm             Bmadd11/E
Into a world I'd never seen

 Emadd9          Em
I saw you as a vision

        Emadd9            Em
Come to raise me from the mud

        A6/E           A
But you came to use my sweat to cool

    A6/E  A
The fever

          D       Dsus2  D  Dsus2
in your blood
Bm Bmadd11/E Bm Bmadd11/E Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em A6/E A A6/E A [Verse 3]
 D              Dsus2
I'm not Marlon Brando

           D      Dsus2
On his motorcycle bike

     Bm               Bmadd11/E
When you call me your animal

        Bm           Bmadd11/E
It's a name I do not like

   Emadd9         Em
Aw please do not tear my back

Emadd9           Em
Yes of course I bleed

     A6/E        A
The violence you thirst for

  A6/E       A
Is not what I need
[Chorus 2]
       D            Dsus2
Your silken skin is armor

      D              Dsus2
That begs for brutal hands

Bm             Bmadd11/E
Why can't I be gentle

     Bm            Bmadd11/E
And tell you of my plans

 Emadd9                 Em
I know now that you're using me

  Emadd9         Em
Not I just using you

          A6/E               A
And you're not so scared of loosing me

  A6/E   A
As I am

         D     Dsus2  D  Dsus2
losing you
Bm Bmadd11/E Bm Bmadd11/E Emadd9 Em Emadd9 Em A6/E A A6/E A [Verse 4]
