[Verse 1]
D                       G
Louise only got from me innocent poetry
D                          A
Although she played to not listen
    D                       G
But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
D          A         D
Ever could offer the same

D                      G
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
D                       A
Although so foolish and willing
         D                      G
I said, 'Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
D          A            D
Bow as the curtain goes down'


[Chorus]
G                          D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
G                               A
Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
  G                         D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                        A
Then came a knock at the door


[Verse 2]
  D                    G
I came for my woman he came with a razor blade
D                         A
Bound like us all for the ocean
  D                         G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death
       D             A             D
Of the man who would take her from me

D                       G
Some say they saw in me innocent poetry
D                         A
Some say they'll never be certain
    D                          G
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
D         A        D
Given and taken in ink


[Chorus]
G                          D
Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
G                               A
Cut 'em, they'll come back for more
  G                         D
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
G                          A
Then came the knock at the door


[Verse 3]
D                        G
Louise came to rescue me missing the irony
D                               A
Blood made her heart change its beating
  D                         G
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death
     D             A           D
Of a man she found better than me
