[Verse 1]
Eb Ab Eb
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
Eb Bb
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,
Eb Ab
I would love you forever but woman I plead,
Eb Bb Ab Eb
just love me and hold me and then let me be,
Eb Ab Eb
I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work,
Eb Bb
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
Eb Ab
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
Eb Bb Ab Eb
would you love me and hold me and then let me be
[Chorus]
Cm Bb Ab Eb
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,

Eb Ab Eb
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend,
Eb Bb
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,
Eb Ab
I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
Eb Bb Ab Eb
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell,
Eb Ab Eb
I would treat you like an angel and say all the things,
Eb Bb
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,
Eb Ab
I would love you with all of my heart if you would,
Eb Bb Ab Eb
just love me and hold me and leave me for good,
