[Verse 1]
C G/B Am7
Just before our love got lost you said, "I am as constant as the northern star"
Dm7 C G
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness. Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in the blue TV screen light, I drew a map of Canada
C G/B Am7
Oh, Ca - na - da oooh
Dm7 C G
With your face sketched on it twice
[Chorus]
F Em
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
Oh, I would still be on my feet
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C G/B Am7 Dm7 C
Oh, I am a lonely painter. I live in a box of paints. I'm frightened by the devil
G
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
C G/B Am7
Do you remember when you told me love was touching souls? Surely you touched mine,
Dm7 C G
'Cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time
[Chorus]
F Em
And you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
I'd still be on my feet
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C G/B Am7
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours, she knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds
Dm7 C G
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can, but be prepared to bleed"
[Chorus]
F Em
And you are in my blood like holy wine
Dm7 C
You're so bitter, so sweet
C C G/B Am7
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7 C G
And I would still be on my feet
N.C
I'd still be on my feet
