Verse 1
[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
[G]
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] [Gsus2] [G]
Oh momma, don't fuss over me.
Chorus
[C/G] [Em] [G]
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
[C/G] [Em] [G]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[C/G] [Gsus2] [G]
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Verse 2
[G] [G]
Calls of guilty fall on me
[G] [Em]
All while she stains
[C/G] [G]
The sheets of some other
[G] [G]
Thrown at me so powerfully
[G] [Em] [C/G] [G]
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.
Pre-chorus 2

But I want it, it's a crime
[C/G] [Em] [Gsus2] [G]
That she's not around most of the time.
Chorus
[C/G] [Em] [G]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
[C/G] [Em] [G]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[C/G] [Gsus2] [G]
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
[Guitar Solo]
Verse 3
[G] [G]
Her fight and fury is fiery
[G] [Em]
Oh but she loves
[C/G] [G]
Like sleep to the freezing
[G] [G]
Sweet and right and merciful
[G] [Em]
I'm all but washed
[C/G] [G]
In the tide of her breathing.
Pre-chorus 3
[C/G] [Em] [C/G] [Em]
And it's worth it, it's divine
[C/G] [Em] [Gsus2] [G]
And I have this some of the time.
Chorus
[C/G] [Em] [G]
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
[C/G] [Em] [G]
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
[C/G] [Gsus2] [G]
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
