     C#
Her eyes and words are so icy
            A#m
Oh, but she burns
     F#        C#
Like rum on a fire
C#
Hot and fast and angry
As she can be
A#m        F#        C#
I walk my days on a wire

F#       A#m   F#         A#m
It looks ugly, but it's clean,
F#    A#m        D#m7      C#
Oh momma, don't fuss over me

Chorus:
             C#
The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
     F#                                   C#
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine

Calls of guilty thrown at me, all while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully, just like she throws
With the arm of her brother

But I want it, it's a crime
That she's not around most of the time

Chorus:
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist, oh, would be fine
The blood is rare and as sweet as cherry wine

Her fight and fury's fiery
Oh, but she looks
Like sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed
In the tide of her breathing

And it's worth it, it's divine
I have this some of the time

Chorus:
The way she shows me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist, oh, would be fine
The blood is rare and as sweet as cherry wine
