C        G         Dm         F 
oh lady fair your stranglin’ 
   C       G6        C    G6 C
hair ribbons round my tongue
C        G             Dm       
I try to speak but my thoughts 
    F     C           G6          
grow weak for all the yarns you’ve
 C   C7
 spun
   G                  Dm   F    
I heard them say that evil may 
C       G6        C   G6
walk in beauty’s shoes
C            G        Dm      F 
well if ever I could love myself

 then I’ll stop loving you

flirting with all my friends

C            G      Dm     F  
I heard you told a joke or two
C         G          C   C7
 with my name at the end
G            Dm      F   C     
hurry home I sit in stone tell 
            G6     C
me it just ain’t true

well if ever I could love myself

C            G         Dm   F  
when you’re gone I’ll carry on 
C            G6        C   G6 C
it was never meant to last
C                G     Dm    F  
and I’d much prefer to sit alone
C            G        C   C7
 and drink about the past
   G             Dm       F  C  
or so I say some how some way 
       G          C
till I believe its true
C            G        Dm      F 
well if ever I could love myself
  C              G6     C   G6 C
 then I’ll stop loving you
