I love you more than any man,
G
But somethingʼs getting in the way.
C
I do you harm because I can,
C
For the second time today.
G
Victims we are not of happenstance,
G
But youʼre a victim all the same.
C
Stuck inside a circumstance,
C
With your confusion and your blame.
CEm
And when I get drunk,
D
You take me home
C
And keep me safe
Em
From harm.
D
When I get drunk,
C
You take me home.
G
I ask you for another second chance,
G
But then I drink it all away.
C
And I get bellicose when you react,
C
For love, frustration and dismay.
G
I was so delicate when we began,
G
So tender when I spoke your name.
C
But now Iʼm nothing but a partisan,
C
To my compulsion and my shame.
CEm
And when I get drunk,
D
You take me home
C
And keep me safe
Em
From harm.
D
When I get drunk,
C
You take me home.

G
I love you more than any man,
G
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
C
I do you harm because I can,
C
With a joke in questionable taste.
G
Iʼve such duplicity at my command,
G
So I keep on lying to your face.
C
Then I run away to wonderland,
C
Disappear without a trace.
CEm
And when I get drunk,
D
You take me home
C
And keep me safe
Em
From harm.
D
When I get drunk,

You take me home.
