A Case Of You

A               E
Just before our love got lost you said
F#m
"I am as constant as the northern star"
             D
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
A
Where's that at
       E
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
A                E
On the back of a cotton coaster
F#m              A
In the blue T.V. screen light
D               A
I drew a map of Canada
   E      F#m
Oh Canada
D                             E
With your face sketched on it twice

Chorus]
D                C#m
In my blood like holy wine
    Bm               A
You taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
                      F#m
Well, I could drink a case of you, darling
            D              E
And I would still be on my feet
                       A
I would still be on my feet

[Verse 2]
A         E
Oh I am a lonely painter
D              F#m
I live in a box of paints
D                      A
I'm frightened by the devil
        E
And I'm drawn to those that ain't afraid
A               E
I remember that time you told me
 D
"Love is touching souls"
F#m
Surely you touched mine
      D              A
Cause part of you pours out of me
E
In these lines from time to time

[Chorus]
D
My blood
   C#m
My holy wine
Bm                A
Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet
     A               F#m
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
            D              E
And I would still be on my feet
                       A
I would still be on my feet

[Verse 3]
A
I met a woman
              E
She had a mouth like yours
F#m
She knew your devils and your deeds
               D          A
And she said, "Go to him, stay with him
E
But be prepared to bleed"

[Chorus]
D
My blood
   C#m
My holy wine
Bm                 A
Tastes so bitter, bitter and so sweet
     A               F#m
Well I could drink a case of you, darling
             D             E
And I would still be on my feet
                       A
I would still be on my feet
