[Verse 1]
G6sus
She stood like a wolf in the doorway
Bm
The others laid bare on the ground
C
Now she makes her bed
G6sus
Out in Brooklyn instead
D C G6sus
And I sleep with the goddamn hounds
G6sus
Her voice for a moment of lenience
Bm
Her words for the coin in your jar
C
While she pays her dues
G6sus
As another man's muse
D C G6sus
I still can't tell my head from my heart
[Bridge]
C G6sus
Can I know all that I am?
C G6sus
Lest I forget I'm a decent man
[Verse 2]
G6sus
Now she drinks and I smoke as we please to
Bm
While the other men fall to their knees
C
And a trifling part
G6sus
In the back of my heart
D C G6sus
Says if ever that coward is me
[Bridge]
G6sus
Maybe if I begged some old saint for her patience
Bm
And then sold it to pay for her time
C
'Til I wake up one day
G6sus
And to all my dismay
D C G6sus
That old face in the coffin is mine
[Outro]
C G6sus
Can I know all that I am?
C Am
Lest I forget I'm a decent
C G6sus
Oh, I'm a decent man
