[Intro]
G C G D
G C G Em D
[Verse 1]
G C G
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
G C
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,
G C
I would love you forever but woman I plead,
G D C G
just love me and hold me and then let me be,
G C G
I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work,
G C
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
G C
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
G D C G
would you love me and hold me and then let me be
[Chorus]
Em D C G
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
Em D C G
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
D G D G
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
Em G D G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
Em G D G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
[Verse 2]
G C G
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend,
G D
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,
G C
I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
G D C G
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell,
G C G
I would treat you like an angel and say all the things,
G D
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,
G C
I would love you with all of my heart if you would,
G D C G
just love me and hold me and leave me for good,
[Chorus]
Em D C G
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
Em D C G
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
D G D G
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
Em G D G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
Em G D G
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
