[Verse 1]

             
Her eyes and w

              
ords are so ic

              
y, oh, but she

  
 burns
            
Like rum on a 

 
fire
 
Hot and fast a

nd angry as sh

e can be
           
I walk my days

       
 on a wire


           
   It looks  u

          
gly,   but it'

     
s clean
             
   Oh mamma, d

            
on't fuss over

  
 me


[Chorus]

             
 The way she t

             
ells me I'm he

             
rs and she is 

mine
             
 Open hand or 

             
closed fist wo

       
uld be fine
             
But blood is r

           
are and sweet 

           
as   cherry wi

ne


[Verse 2]

             
Calls of guilt

              
y thrown at me

              
 all while she

   
 stains
            
The sheets of 

       
some other
             
Thrown at me s

              
o powerfully j

              
ust like she t

 
hrows
            
With the arm o

       
f her brother


          
   But I want 

       
it, it's a cri


me
             
   That she's 

       
not around mos

          
t of the time


[Chorus]

             
 The way she t

             
ells me I'm he

           
rs and she is 

mine
             
 Open hand or 

             
closed fist wo

       
uld be  fine
           
But blood is r

             
are and sweet 

       
as cherry wine


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

             
Her fight and 

              
fury's fiery, 

              
oh, but she lo


ves
            
Like sleep to 

      
the freezing
             
Sweet and righ

              
t and merciful

              
, I'm all but 

 
washed
            
In the tide of

       
 her breathing


           
   And it's wo

         
rth it, it's d


ivine
             
   I have this

            
 some of the t

 
ime


[Chorus]

             
 The way she t

             
ells me I'm he

      
rs and she is 

mine
             
 Open hand or 

             
closed fist wo

      
uld be fine
             
But blood is r

           
are and sweet 

   
as cherry wine


[Ending]





*****P.S.*****
A trick I have learned is to occasionally add your fourth finger to the third fret of the A string 
when playing a G chord, to add a higher pitch on some words, 
for example in the first line you may add it when playing "words" and then again on "oh, but". 
If this is confusing just ignore it! Have fun! (:
