[Verse]
C              G/B                  Am7
Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star"
          Dm7                   C
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
             G/B                             Am7    G
Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar"
        C                  G/B   Am7                          Dm7
On the back of a cartoon coaster, in the blue TV screen light
                 C         C      C/B    Am7
I drew a map of Canada, oh Ca  -  na  -  da
     Dm7    C                 G/B
With your face sketched on it twice
 
[Chorus]
    F                        Em
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
Dm7                C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
    C              C   C/B  Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
            Dm7 C          G/B                          C F
And I would still be on my feet, oh I would still be on my feet

[Verse]
 C           G/B      Am7                            Dm7
Oh I am a lonely painter, I live in a box of paints
                 C                G/B                        Am7          G
I'm frightened by the devil and I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
     C                              G/B
I remember that time that you told me, you said
               Am7
"Love is touching souls", surely you touched mine
     Dm7                C         G/B          Am7                   G
’Cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time
 
[Chorus]
   F                       Em
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
Dm7                C
You taste so bitter and so sweet
    C              C   C/B  Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7  C            G/B                         C  F
Still I'd be on my feet, I would still be on my feet

[Verse]
         C                G/B
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours
               Am7
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds
            Dm7        C                         G/B                   Am7    G
And she said "Go to him, stay with him if you can but be prepared to bleed"
 
[Chorus]
       F                             Em
Oh but you are in my blood, you're my holy wine
Dm7              C
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
   C               C   C/B  Am7
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Dm7        C        G/B                  C   F
Still I'd be on my feet, I would still be on my feet
