[Verse 1]
        Eb                           Ab        Eb
I would walk all the miles if you'd play your part,
     Eb                        Bb
I'd write you a song if you'd just break my heart,
         Eb                    Ab
I would love you forever but woman I plead,
      Eb           Bb          Ab         Eb
just love me and hold me and then let me be,
         Eb                     Ab             Eb
I would draw you in ink if I thought it would work, 
     Eb                    Bb
I'd buy you the ocean if you'd only hurt me,
     Eb                    Ab
I'd steal you a river if you'd only see,
           Eb          Bb          Ab         Eb
would you love me and hold me and then let me be

[Chorus]
       Cm            Bb           Ab       Eb
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
        Cm           Bb        Ab          Eb
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
        Bb          Cm       Bb       Cm
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
           Ab          Eb            Bb          Cm
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
           Ab          Eb            Bb          Eb
would you love me and leave me with something to write?

[Verse 2]
         Eb                         Ab       Eb
I would ache to my bones from the hours I'd spend, 
         Eb                     Bb
writing poems of loss if you'd sleep with my friends,
         Eb                    Ab
I would paint you a mural and ring all the bells,
         Eb            Bb           Ab              Eb
if you'd please just mistreat me and put me through hell, 
         Eb                         Ab          Eb
I would treat you like an angel and say all the things, 
         Eb              Bb
the loneliest poets have only dared dream,
         Eb                     Ab
I would love you with all of my heart if you would, 
      Eb          Bb          Ab           Eb
just love me and hold me and leave me for good, 

[Chorus]
       Cm            Bb           Ab       Eb
I'm a sick kind of lover and I'm cruel to myself,
        Cm           Bb        Ab          Eb
I'm a writer who's nothing if he's not in hell,
        Bb          Cm       Bb       Cm
I would owe you a favour and if it's alright,
           Ab          Eb            Bb          Cm
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
           Ab          Eb            Bb          Eb
would you love me and leave me with something to write?
