[Verse 1]
F#
I love you more than any man,
But something's getting in the way.
B
I do you harm because I can,
For the second time today.
F#
Victims we are not of happenstance,
But you're a victim all the same.
B
Stuck inside a circumstance,
With your confusion and your blame.
[Chorus]
B D#m
And when I get drunk,
C#
You take me home
B
And keep me safe
D#m
From harm.
C#
When I get drunk,
B
You take me home.
[Verse 2]
F#
I ask you for another second chance,
But then I drink it all away.
B
And I get bellicose when you react,
For love, frustration and dismay.
F#
I was so delicate when we began,
So tender when I spoke your name.
B
But now I'm nothing but a partisan,
To my compulsion and my shame.
[Chorus]
B D#m
And when I get drunk,
C#
You take me home
B
And keep me safe
D#m
From harm.
C#
When I get drunk,
B
You take me home.
F# Bbm B
B F# Bbm B
You know I'm grateful,
F# Bbm B
I appreciate.
C#
But in fact it's baleful,
D#m
How I suck you dry
B
How I suck you dry
D#m
How I suck you dry
C#
How I suck you
D#m
How I suck you dry
B
How I suck you dry
D#m
How I suck you dry
[Verse 3]
F#
I love you more than any man,
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
B
I do you harm because I can,
With a joke in questionable taste.
F#
I've such duplicity at my command,
So I keep on lying to your face.
B
Then I run away to wonderland,
Disappear without a trace.
[Chorus]
B D#m
And when I get drunk,
C#
You take me home
B
And keep me safe
D#m
From harm.
C#
When I get drunk,
B
You take me home.
[Outro]
F# Bbm B
B F# Bbm B
You know I'm grateful,
F# Bbm B
I appreciate.
C#
But in fact it's baleful,
D#m
How I suck you dry
B
How I suck you dry
D#m
How I suck you dry
C#
How I suck you
D#m
How I suck you dry
B
How I suck you dry
D#m
How I suck you dry
