[B] Baby, see _ how I've been living _ _ [C#m] Velvet curtains on the [E] windows, too _
Keep [B] the brown _ _ _ _ _ unforgiving _ _
_ [C#m] _ light from [E] shining through _ _
_ [B] Baby, _ remember [E] all the things that we did [B] When we slept together [E] in the blue behind your [C#m] eyelids _ cleaving _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Sweet _ _ _ baby, _ _ _ _ [B] trace the scent _ through the _ _ gloom [C#m] Till I found these purple _ [E] _ flowers _
I [B] was _ _ _ _ soon _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ smelling you for [E] _ _ hours _
_ [B] _ _ Lavender _ [E] lotus blossoms, too _ [B] _ What other _ [E] dirt than the flowers lasts for [C#m] you, _ baby _

_ _ witness _ _ [C#m] the way _ things have [E] changed
