D There's never a star in this sky A Never a boat in this sea Only the voice of a thousand lies G D Choking the truth out of me Until I've fallen immune to her lies Or learned to turn a deaf ear to her pleas I will never begin to be satisfied She'll never again let me be A Don't let her turn your temperance G D Away from the simple and sound A G D Or she will damn you darkly down G At the bottom of the bottle it makes no difference D If I keep drinkin' or drown A G D Cause I can't go much lower than I am right now G D By the time I find my home A D I'll be all scars and broken bones G D A head full of lies, a heart of stone A G D Voice like a freight train's cold whistle moan No, no I cannot promise nothing G D That I cannot know for sure I won't say never or forever A I have told those lies before D Please don't ask me to proclaim, my love G D That my love for you will grow G D That I desire to love you 'til I die A G D Ain't that all you need to know But your desires burn like fires G D Then they quickly flicker down And all the while your constant smile A Will never show the fires went out D And when they do you won't come home one night G D And you'll leave me all alone G D So don't tell me of desire my love A G D Tell me true, you'll never go Or by the time you find your home You'll be all scars and broken bones A head full of lies, a heart of stone Voice like a freight train's cold whistle moan
