Verse 1:
C     F
We never sleep at night
      C       G
But we'll spend the days in bed
     C             F
And you walk down the stairs ever so gingerly
     C          G      C
Could've lived but I chose to love you instead

Chorus:
 C          F
Fix me your poison, gin for your molly
 C             G
Lime for your bruises and chalk for your holly
 C
Tell me you're sleeping
  D7
I can't if you won't
   C    G   C
Yeah you could be my own

Verse 2:
          C          F
The way that you smile when something pleasant is up in your mind
    C             G
And you put your tiny lips to my ear
     C               F
We could break this old routine, this apartment you and me
      C     G   C
We could leave this town my dear

Chorus:
 C           F
Rats in your armchair, burrs in your cotton
 C             G
Baby turn my engines from polished to rotten
 C              D7
Promise you'll keep me in a box by the phone
   C    G   C
Yeah you could be my own

Verse 3:
       C       F
Would you burn all the crows in my fields?
C      F
 And sing me to sleep
      C             G
You won't ever have to walk, cause my cars just down the block
    C          G          C
And Japan's only two weeks away if you travel by sea

Chorus:
 C           F
Love where you moving? Heart where you going?
    C                G
Your clothes on the floor, yeah your bruises are showing
   C           D7
Airplanes can take you to Paris or Rome
   C      G   C
But you'll still be my own

 C             F
Bells in the boathouse, champagne and icing
    C               G
It's just like the movies, yeah your parents are crying
    C            D7
Our family's all gathered but we're getting stoned
    C    G   C
Yeah you could be my own
          C     D7
I left all her pictures in a box by the road
  C    G   C
So you could be my own
