[Verse One]
D G
Louise only got from me innocent poetry
D A
Although she played to not listen
D G
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D A D
Ever could offer the same
D G
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
D A
Although so foolish and willing
D G
I said Babe, "I can picture you bend as if wanting to
D A D
Bow as the curtain goes down"
[Chorus]
G D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G A
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
G D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so, cripple me
G A
Then came a knock at the door
[Verse Two]
D G
I came for my woman, he came with a razor blade
D A
Bound like us all for the ocean
D G
I hope that she's happy, I'm blamed for the death
D A D
Of a man who would take her from me
[Solo]

[Verse Three]
D G
Some they saw in me innocent poetry
D A
Some, some they'll never be certain
D G
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
D A D
In giving, and taking, and ink
[Chorus]
G D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
G A
Cut ‘em, they'll come back for more
G D
I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
G A
Then came the knock at the door
[Verse Four]
D G
Louise came to rescue me, missing, the irony
D A
Blood made her heart change its beating
D G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
D A D
The man she found better than me
