Verse 1:

G             B  C
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb
G               Bm   C
The light would flicker like a violent womb
G              Bm   C
The night was thicker than a smokey fume
G  Em   B   C
Liza waited in the room

Verse 2:

G            B    C
Benny loved her like he loved no one
G               Bm   C
The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun
G                Bm   C
The way she always said, "What's done is done."
  G   Em   B  C
And he was not the only one

G     B   C
Love is a gentle thing

Yours is thicker than a velvet ring


Verse 3:

G           B      C
A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
G           Bm   C
Benny knew how she was getting paid
G               Bm   C
Her water broke and they would have to wade

G Em B C

G             B  C
When he knew that she was fooling
G           Bm    C
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing said
G            Bm    C
We're outta money and we sold the bling
  G   Em  B    C   G   Em  B    C
And I just wanna take you home, I just wanna take you home

And I am wandering

I am wandering
