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

How I suck you dry
A
How I suck you dry

How I suck you dry

How I suck you
