C               G
Just before our love got lost, you said
Am
"I am as constant as a northern star, " and I said
Dm
"Constantly in the darkness
             G
Where's that at?
       G                       G
If you want me, I'll be in the bar"
C                G
On the back of a cartoon coaster
Am
In the blue TV screen light
Dm              C
I drew a map of Canada
    C G Am
Oh, Canada
     Dm                       G  
With your face sketched on it twice

               F             Em
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
    F         
You taste so bitter
       C
And so sweet, oh
                C    G  Am   
I could drink a case of you darling, and I would
Dm             G
Still be on my feet
G                C
Oh, I would still be on my feet

C               G     Am
Oh, I am a lonely painter

I live in a box of paints
Dm                    C
I'm frightened by the devil
        G
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

C               G
I remember that time you told me, you said
Am
"Love is touching souls"
                   Dm
Surely you touched mine, 'cause
                  C G Am
Part of you pours out of me
Dm                  G
In these lines from time to time


               F             Em
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
    F         
You taste so bitter
       C
And so sweet, oh
                C    G  Am   
I could drink a case of you darling, and I would
Dm             G
Still be on my feet
G                C
Oh, I would still be on my feet

C              
I met a woman
         G                                Am
She had a mouth like yours, she knew your life

She knew your devils and your deeds, and she said
Dm          C
"Go to him, Stay with him if you can
G
But be prepared to bleed"


               F             Em
Oh, you are in my blood like holy wine
    F         
You taste so bitter
       C
And so sweet, oh
                C    G  Am   
I could drink a case of you darling, and I would
Dm             G
Still be on my feet
G                C
Oh, I would still be on my feet
