F                  Dm Bb  Dm
My little darlin knows my nature
Bb                F      C
My little darlin knows my mind
Dm                         Bb      F
She has sheltered me from it all the time
F                     Dm  Bb  Dm
For left alone to my own devices
Bb                             F        C
I will tear at the carpet I'll chew the blinds
Dm                    Bb         F
A more feral specimen you won't find
F                    Bb        Dm
But every year I am getting older
Bb                        F        C
And I lose my good looks, lose my charms
Dm                       Bb      Dm
All I used to lure you into my arms
Bb                          Dm
Who could blame you being cynical
                F
You're right the world it is a crypt
      C             Dm
It's pitiless and cold
Bb                      Dm
And though I remain skeptical
F
That you still love me
                      C   F   Dm   Bb   Dm   Bb    F   C   F
May be the only miracle
F                   Bb       Dm
I never learned to trust a love song
       Bb                F         C
It was not because the words were trite
      Dm             Bb         F
But I felt the love itself was trite
                          Dm           Bb      Dm
Now my little darlin I'll sing you a love song
            Bb                F    C
One you can hang your hat on every night
       Dm                     Bb
I will be your witness if you be mine
         Dm                   Bm
I will be your witness if you be mine
      Dm                       C     F
I will be your witness if you be my wife
