D A Em G D
I was slicing up an avocado when you came up behind me
A Em G D
With your quiet brand new sneakers, your reflection I did not see
A Em G D
It was the hottest day in August and we were heading for the sea
A Em G
For a second my mind started drifting, You put your arms around;
[Chorus]
D A Em
me---------------
G
you put your arms around
D A Em
me---------------
G D
you put your arms around....
[Verse]
A Em
blood sprayed on the kitchen sink
G D
whats this? i had time to think
A Em
i see the tip of my index finger
G D
my mind is slowly creating a link
A Em
from your mouth speaks your lovely voice
G D
the softest words ever spoken
A Em
what's broken can always be fixed
G D
whats fixed will always be----
[Chorus]

[Verse]
D A Em
....i must've passed out on the porch
G D
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
A Em
when i wake up im in the waiting room
G D
on a dirty hospital couch
A Em
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
G D
and my body's wrapped in debris
A Em
sitting next to me reading the paper
G D
i put your arm on my knee....
(Repeat Chorus for outro)
