C                     G/B

Just before our love got lost you said

Am7 (2)
"I am as constant as a northern star"

              Dm                                   C
And I said, "Constant in the darkness
                   G/B (½)

Where's that at?

           Am7 (½)                    G (2)
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

             C                         G/B
On the back of a cartoon coaster

Am7 (2)
     In the blue TV screen light

Dm                           C
      I drew a map of Canada

      C (1 beat)     C/B (1 beat)   Am7 (2)
Oh Ca       -        na  -          da

         Dm (½)    C (½)                   G/B
With your        face sketched on it twice

 

C                         G/B
Oh I am a lonely painter

Am7 (2)
I live in a box of paints

Dm                             C
I'm frightened by the devil

             G/B (½)       Am7 (½)      G (2)
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

           Dm                   C
’Cause part of you pours out of me

G/B (½)    Am7 (½)               G (2)
In these lines from time to time

Chorus

              C                          G/B
I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours

                       Am7 (2)
She knew your life, she knew your devils and your deeds and she said
Dm                C

    "Go to him, stay with him if you can

 G/B (½)              Am7 (½)   G (2)

        But be prepared to bleed"

Chorus
