F#
I love you more than any man,
But something's getting in the way.
B
I do you harm because I can,
For the second time today.
F#
Victims we are not of happenstance,
But you're a victim all the same.
B
Stuck inside a circumstance,
With your confusion and your blame.

[Chorus]
B              D#m
And when I get drunk,
            C#
You take me home
            B
And keep me safe
     D#m
From harm.
           C#
When I get drunk,
            B
You take me home.

[Verse 2]
F#
I ask you for another second chance,
But then I drink it all away.
B
And I get bellicose when you react,
For love, frustration and dismay.
F#
I was so delicate when we began,
So tender when I spoke your name.
B
But now I'm nothing but a partisan,
To my compulsion and my shame.

[Chorus]
B              D#m 
And when I get drunk,
            C#
You take me home
            B
And keep me safe
     D#m
From harm.
           C#
When I get drunk,
            B
You take me home.
F# C# B
B                 F# C# B
You know I'm grateful,
             F# C# B
I appreciate.
                     C#
But in fact it's baleful,
               D#m
How I suck you dry 
               B
How I suck you dry
               D#m
How I suck you dry
           C#
How I suck you
               D#m
How I suck you dry 
               B
How I suck you dry 
               D#m
How I suck you dry 

[Verse 3]
F#
I love you more than any man,
But I seem to lay it all to waste.
B
I do you harm because I can,
With a joke in questionable taste.
F#
I've such duplicity at my command,
So I keep on lying to your face.
B
Then I run away to wonderland,
Disappear without a trace.

[Chorus]
B              D#m 
And when I get drunk,
            C#
You take me home
            B
And keep me safe
     D#m
From harm.
           C#
When I get drunk,
            B
You take me home.

[Outro]
F# C# B
B                 F# C# B
You know I'm grateful,
             F# C# B
I appreciate.
                     C#
But in fact it's baleful,
               D#m
How I suck you dry 
               B
How I suck you dry
               D#m
How I suck you dry
           C#
How I suck you
               D#m
How I suck you dry 
               B
How I suck you dry 
               D#m
How I suck you dry
