Cherry Wine

[C/G] [Em] [G] [C/G] [Em] [G] [C/G] [Gsus2] [G]

 

Her [G]eyes and words are [G]so icy

Oh but she [Em]burns

Like [C/G]rum on the [G]fire

[G]Hot and fast and [G]angry

As she [G]can be

[Em]I walk [C/G]my days on a [G]wire.

 

[C/G]It looks [Em]ugly, [C/G]but it's [Em]clean,

[C/G]Oh [Em]momma, don't [Gsus2]fuss over [G]me.

 

The way she [C/G]tells me I'm [Em]hers and she is [G]mine

Open [C/G]hand or closed [Em]fist would be [G]fine

The [C/G]blood is rare and [Gsus2]sweet as cherry [G]wine.

 

[G]Calls of guilty [G]fall on me

[G]All while she [Em]stains

The [C/G]sheets of some [G]other

[G]Thrown at me so [G]powerfully

[G]Just like she [Em]throws with the [C/G]arm of her [G]brother.

 

[C/G]But I [Em]want it, [C/G]it's a [Em]crime

[C/G]That she's [Em]not around [Gsus2]most of the [G]time.

 

The way she [C/G]shows me I'm [Em]hers and she is [G]mine

Open [C/G]hand or closed [Em]fist would be [G]fine

[C/G]Blood is rare and [Gsus2]sweet as cherry [G]wine.

 

Her [G]fight and fury [G]is fiery

[G]Oh but she [Em]loves

Like [C/G]sleep to the [G]freezing

[G]Sweet and right and [G]merciful

[G]I'm all but [Em]washed

In the [C/G]tide of her [G]breathing.

 

[C/G]And it's [Em]worth it, [C/G]it's [Em]divine

[C/G]And [Em]I have this [Gsus2]some of the [G]time.

 

The way she [C/G]shows me I'm [Em]hers and she is [G]mine

Open [C/G]hand or closed [Em]fist would be [G]fine

[C/G]Blood is rare and [Gsus2]sweet as cherry [G]wine.
