Honey And Milk

G

[Verse]
G                          Am
Keep me caged with the animals
            C                    
Tasting my sorrow and teaching me 
  G
lessons
    G                          Am 
You found me asleep with the roses
              C
 all over my body
              G
Like a confession
G                       Am
Cigarette burns on my collar
                  C                
I don't think I like this life that
        G
 we're living
G                       Am
Surviving on honey and milk
                        C
You don't give me much more
                        G
To make sure that I'm breathing

G

[Chorus]
F                             C
I think God's staying at the Diane 
Motel
         C        B       Am
And he's smoking out on the porch
           F                  C
And you're crying in the parking lot
 again
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
         C        B           Am
Just praying that I will come home
F                             C
But I've been lost for so many days 
on the interstate
         C        B       Am
I don't know morning from dark
F
The kindness of strangers
         C                       
And the strangeness of everyone I 
  C
know
         B                Am
Has just fucked with my heart

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G
You laugh like an angel
         Am                 C
With comatose love in your eyes
               G
Like a sleeping city
G                        
You put me to rest in your 
  Am
gravestone chest
         C                      G
Tell me I've never looked so pretty
G                       Am
The funeral party had drinks
             C                     
And nobody asked why you smashed up
      G
 the table
     G                         Am
Your promises fold and your voice is
 so loud
         C                         
But I'm living in the light of your
 G
 halo

[Instrumental]
G

[Chorus]
  F                            
I think God's passed out in the 
  C
bathtub again
         C        B         Am
Because nobody answered the door
        F                     C
And the love that you made me fight 
for
     C     B      Am
Was never love at all
     F                          
The red light shines through the 
    C
window
                   C
And I've got a black eye
          B            Am
For every bed that you've made
     F                       C
The honey and milk on my fingertips
              C      B      Am
Was never enough to make you stay
