Verse 1:
G
I met two girls in Boulder, we were standing in the cold
         Cadd9
I said, “There’s only room for one of you to live inside my home.” But
Am           G
this, this is not my home

G
The first one took my mind away, the second took my name, Oh yeah,
  Cadd9
she writes me lovers every day but I need her all the same I need her
Am                 G
all the same.I need her all the same

Chorus 1:
      G
But you’re my leech
      C
I hope you never leave me
     A7              Cadd9             G
You could live inside my heart, killing people just to eat, you’re mine
      Cadd9
And if you ever grow old,
   A7                Cadd9           G
will hold you in my hands and tell you just how beautiful you are

Verse 2:
   G
When all the old folks went to bed, the gardener was spent And the
Cadd9                          Am     G
children playing quietly, I lost my only friend And you held my head

  G
The wind it whipped the trees around, it was snowing in the yard So
   Cadd9
you ripped a piece right off your shirt and tied it round my arm And
  Am          G
said,“I’ll keep you warm.”
