(from "In the Reins" w/ Calexico)

Louise only got from me innocent poetry
D                          A
Although she played to not listen
D                           G
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D          A         Dsus2
Ever could offer the same

D          	            G
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
D                       A
Although so foolish and willing
D                           G
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
D          A         Dsus2
Bow as the curtain went down



G            D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G                 A
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
G           D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G             A
Then came a knock at the door

D          	            G
“I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
D                          A
Bound like us all for the ocean
D                           G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
D          A         Dsus2
The man who would take her from me

D          	            G
Some they saw in me innocent poetry
D                           A
Some, some they'll never be certain
D                           G
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
D          A         Dsus2
Given and taken in ink


G            D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G                 A
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
G           D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G             A
Then came a knock at the door

D          	            G
Louise came to rescue me; listen, the irony:
D                               A
Blood made her heart change its beating
D                           G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
D          A         Dsus2
The man she found better than me
