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