At first you seemed just like my dream
D
Of a finer better life
Bm
Much more than I could ask for
Bm
In a lover or a wife
Em
Though I work with my body
Em
And my work makes my hands rough
A7
There are gentle things inside me
A7

Things I do not know
Bm
Things I've never done, girl

And places we could go
Em
But you only wear your tailored suits
Em

Em
Come to raise me from the mud
A7
But you came to use my sweat to cool
A7
The fever in your blood
D
I'm not Marlon Brando
D
On his motorcycle bike
Bm
When you call me your animal
Bm
It's a name I do not like
Em

Em

A7
The violence you thirst for
A7
Is not what I need
D
Your silken skin is armor
D
That begs for brutal hands
Bm
But why can't I be gentle
Bm
And tell you of my plans?
Em
I know that you're using me
Em
Not I just using you
A7
And you're not so scared
A7
Of losing me as I losing you

At first you seemed...
