A                   D
sweetie, you don't look so good
      A
your bottom lip is bleeding.
A                 D
I cut it on your collarbone
   A
go on, go back to sleep.

A                     D
sugar, who were you thinking of?
     A
you woke me with your breathing.
E             G              A
honey, how am I supposed to tell?

Chorus:
   Bm                  G                  A
if I were a spy in the world inside your head
     Bm                    G               A
would I be your wife in a better life you led?

Thought I saw you on the stairs
Of this American century
I went up through all years
You were years ahead of me
Remember when you dipped your hand?
I never saw it coming
You took the wind out of me

Chorus

E           G           A
i'd do you better than you do
E           G                    A
I'd do you better than you ever will
     E       G               A
when i'm on bitters and absolut.

Chorus

I'd do better than you do
I'd do better than you ever will
When I am on Bitters and Absolut
When I am on Bitters and Absolut.
