[Verse 1]
 
     G                         G/F#         C/E
Her eyes and words are so icy, oh,    but she burns
      Am       G
Like rum on a fire
 G                        G/F#
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
C/E         Am         G
I walk my days on a wire
 
 
 C          Cmaj7  C         Cmaj7
   It looks  ugly,   but it's clean
     C               Am       G
   Oh mamma, don't fuss over me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                         C           G
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
G                    C            G
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
      C      Am       C       Am     G
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                            G/F#        C/E
Calls of guilty thrown at me all while she stains
      Am             G
The sheets of some other
  G                        G/F#        C/E
Thrown at me so powerfully just like she throws
          Am         G
With the arm of her brother
 
 
C          Cmaj7  C     Cmaj7
   But I want it, it's a crime
C             Cmaj7      Am           G
   That she's not around most of the time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                         C           G
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
G                    C            G
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
      C      Am       C       Am     G
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    G                       G/F#      C/E
Her fight and fury's fiery, oh, but she loves
       Am           G
Like sleep to the freezing
    G                         G/F#      C/E
Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed
        Am           G
In the tide of her breathing
 
 
C           Cmaj7    C     Cmaj7
   And it's worth it, it's divine
C    Cmaj7     Am            G
   I have this some of the time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                         C           G
 The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
G                    C            G
 Open hand or closed fist would be fine
      C      Am       C       Am     G
But blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
 
 
[Ending]
