Chords

[Intro] G G Em C/G G [Verse]
G                      G
Her eyes and words are so icy

           Em
Oh but she burns

     C/G             G
Like rum on the fire

G                    G
Hot and fast and angry
As she can be
   Em     C/G           G
I walk my days on a wire.

C/G         Em C/G           Em
It looks ugly, but it's clean,

C/G             Em
Oh momma, don't fuss over me.
[Chorus]
G                        Em
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine

G                    Em
Open hand or closed fist would be fine

    C/G               Am                    G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Verse]
G               G
Calls of guilty thrown at me

                  Em
All while she stains

      C/G               G
The sheets of some other

G               G
Thrown at me so powerfully

              Em              C/G                G
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.

C/G          Em C/G           Em
But I want it,    it's a crime

    C/G               Em
That she's not around most of the time.
[Chorus]
G                        Em
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine

G                   Em
Open hand or closed fist would be fine

    C/G               Am                   G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Instrumental bridge] G G Em C/G G [Verse]
G                     G
Her fight and fury is fiery

            Em
Oh but she loves

     C/G                 G
Like sleep to the freezing

G                   G
Sweet and right and merciful

            Em
I'm all but washed

        C/G                G
In the tide of her breathing.

C/G              Em C/G           Em
And it's worth it,     it's divine

C/G                 Em
And I can have this some of the time.
[Chorus]
G                        Em
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine

G                   Em
Open hand or closed fist would be fine

    C/G               Am                    G
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
