E
Taste the whiskey on your breath
It's as much as I can drink these days
F#m
And I haven't finished yet
E
Just keep breathing in my face
E
Taste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like sacrament to me
F#m
And like a genuflecting reptile with St. Michael
E
I am starting to believe
F#m
Here I am now in your heaven
A
It's everything you promised me
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure life
E
And it comes to me
E
Pour the tonic down my throat
Throw the water in my eyes
F#m
Just like Romulus and Remus
E
Sink your fangs into my thigh
E
Whisper softly now in Farsi
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
F#m
Something 'bout a glass of wine
E
A loaf of bread and thee
F#m
Here I am now in your heaven
A
It's everything to me

It's your paradise
A
It's your pure
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your world
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure life
E
And it comes to me
E
Hold very still now, baby
There's something by the bed
F#m
A viper or a butterfly
E
An angel or the magic of the dead
E
Taste the poison on your tongue
Tastes like ecstasy to me
F#m
Baby, we ain't makin' love
E
I think we're makin' history
F#m
Here I am now in your heaven
A
It's everything you promised me
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure
B
It's your paradise
A
A beautiful world
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure life
F#m
Here I am now in your heaven
A
It's pretty good to me
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure
B
It's your paradise
A
A beautiful world
B
It's your paradise
A
It's your pure life
E
And it comes to me
