G                           B    C
Shoved in the kitchen of a city tomb
G                               B       C
The light would flicker like a violent womb
G                                B      C
The night was thicker than a smokey fume
 Gmaj7    G7   Em     D#+
Eliza   waited in the room

Benny loved her like he loved no one
The way she'd laugh and hold a smoking gun
The way she always said, "What's done is done."
And he was not the only one

Chorus:
G
Love is a gentle thing
C                        G      C
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
C
Yours is thicker than a velvet ring

A victim healer with a sharp sharp blade
Benny knew how she was getting paid
Her water broke and they would have to wade

And when he knew that she was fooling
He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
We're outta money and we sold the bling
And I just wanna take you home,
I just wanna take you home

Chorus

          G    C  Em
And I am wandering
      G
I am wandering
