[Verse One]
D G Louise only got from me innocent poetry D A Although she played to not listen D G But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else D A D Ever could offer the same D G Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe D A Although so foolish and willing D G I said Babe, "I can picture you bend as if wanting to D A D Bow as the curtain goes down"
[Chorus]
G D Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly G A Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more G D I asked my Louise would she leave and so, cripple me G A Then came a knock at the door
[Verse Two]
D G I came for my woman, he came with a razor blade D A Bound like us all for the ocean D G I hope that she's happy, I'm blamed for the death D A D Of a man who would take her from me

[Verse Three]
D G Some they saw in me innocent poetry D A Some, some they'll never be certain D G But still it's been written, a history of lovers D A D In giving, and taking, and ink
[Chorus]
G D Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly G A Cut 'em, they'll come back for more G D I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me G A Then came the knock at the door
[Verse Four]
D G Louise came to rescue me, missing, the irony D A Blood made her heart change its beating D G I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of D A D The man she found better than me
