Twist Of Barbwire(Chords)

	        Intro: | E | B | E | B | 

       E 
Said I love You 'til You don't know You're born 
                           B 
Said I'd love You 'til the far side of dawn 
           A 
But in the morning, if You must leave 
                           E 
Don't leave with Your apologies 

       A 
If You come back If I liked You at all 
                        B 
Remember I liked You to fall on Your knees 

E 
Liar liar You're My last desire 
        A 
Thought Your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose 
 E 
Tried to be faithful,Not hard enough I suppose 
      A 
Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum 

In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing Your sighs 

And Your sneers and Your frown 

Tried wearing Your jewels and Your heels and Your crown 
           B                      E 
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire 
       B                      E 
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire 
        B                     E        | B | 
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire 

| E | B | E | B | 

E 
See I promise I'll be constantly clean 
                           B 
Did You think that I still say what I mean 
           A 
Now You're keening and You have to decide 
                                E 
Will You open Your legs or Your eyes 

       A 
Or do You pray now 'cos I pray all the time 
                                  B 
As the soul can't escape what the heart may disguise 

E 
Liar liar You're My last desire 
        A 
Thought Your kind of love was just a thorn of the rose 
 E 
Tried to be faithful,Not hard enough I suppose 
      A 
Tried hard to drown with a hum and a drum 

In a pretty drug slum mire, tried bearing Your sighs 

And Your sneers and Your frown 

Tried wearing Your jewels and Your heels and Your crown 
          B                       E 
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire 
       B                      E 
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire 
        B                     E 
It was nothing but a twist of barbwire 
            B                     E       | B | 
But it was nothing but a twist of barbwire
