Verse 1
G 
Em 
She waits by the road
C 
She will sell me something
G 
B 
more than just a body
Em 
And she leans into the car
C 
And I know that something less
G 
B 
than love can spare me
Em 
Life between heartbeats
C 
As a schoolboy,
G 
B 
I would pass her on my way
C 
G 
B 
Always wandering into her hospitality
C 
After being taught that
G 
B 
every man is guilty
C 
G 
After seeing off my last friend to
B 
Vietnamese
C 
G 
As the teachers often tried
B 
to put an end to me
C 
With the counselors useless
G 
sheets of information
B 
C 
That the churches tried
G 
B 
to cut the circulation
C 
The psychiatrist was
G 
B 
missing medication
C 
That was passed out on
G 
B 
the eve of graduation
Em 
D 
Am 
It was over in an hour
C 
G 
D 
Am 
C 
G 
Em 
C 
G 
Now I find myself awake
B 
on truck speed
C 
Taking taxis to motels
G 
B 
on empty streets
Em 
life between heartbeats
C 
G 
when she takes me like a
B 
mother never could
C 
G 
in a way that all my lovers
B 
never would
C 
though they came and that was
G 
B 
quite a thing to see
C 
Though they moved like ava
G 
B 
lanches falling on me
C 
Though they called out to the
G 
B 
midnight in their sighs
C 
Seems that love is but a
G 
B 
pet that always dies
Ebdim 
B 
Em 
And it lies as it lays
C 
Now I thirst for truth to
G 
B 
press against my face
C 
G 
B 
Be it vinyl, be it latex, be it lace
C 
G 
B 
For I will not sleep until I get a taste
C 
Of the healer who has
G 
B 
fallen and I'm chased
C 
G 
For I don't believe in sin,
B 
only in passion
C 
When I finally paid this
G 
B 
angel of compassion
Em 
D 
Am 
C 
I will pray in the bed
AHA,
G 
AHAHA,
OOOH
AHA,
AHA,
Am 
OOOH
Am 
C 
AHA,
AHA,
G 
OOOH
