I love you more than any man,
F#
But somethingʼs getting in the way.

I do you harm because I can,
B
For the second time today.
F#
Victims we are not of happenstance,
F#
But youʼre a victim all the same.
B
Stuck inside a circumstance,
B
With your confusion and your blame.

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#
I ask you for another second chance,
F#
But then I drink it all away.
B
And I get bellicose when you react,
B
For love, frustration and dismay.
F#
I was so delicate when we began,
F#
So tender when I spoke your name.
B
But now Iʼm nothing but a partisan,
B
To my compulsion and my shame.

You take me home

And keep me safe

When I get drunk,
B
You take me home.

F#
I love you more than any man,
F#
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
B
I do you harm because I can,
B
With a joke in questionable taste.
F#
Iʼve such duplicity at my command,
F#
So I keep on lying to your face.
B
Then I run away to wonderland,
B
Disappear without a trace.
