D MajorD  A augmentedA       E minorEm       G+G         D MajorD
I was slicing up an avocado when you came up behind me

     A augmentedA        E minorEm    G+G              D MajorD
With your quiet brand new sneakers, your reflection I did not see

      A augmentedA         E minorEm       G+G        D MajorD
It was the hottest day in August and we were heading for the sea

    A augmentedA           E minorEm          G+G
For a second my mind started drifting, You put your arms around;

(Chorus)
D MajorD   A augmentedA   E minorEm
me---------------

       G+G
you put your arms around

D MajorD   A augmentedA   E minorEm
me---------------

       G+G      D MajorD
you put your arms around....

   A augmentedA            E minorEm
blood sprayed on the kitchen sink
   G+G          D MajorD
whats this? i had time to think
     A augmentedA        E minorEm
i see the tip of my index finger
    G+G          D MajorD
my mind is slowly creating a link
     A augmentedA            E minorEm
from your mouth speaks your lovely voice
      G+G      D MajorD
the softest words ever spoken
    A augmentedA          E minorEm
what's broken can always be fixed
   G+G         D MajorD
whats fixed will always be----

(Chorus)
  A augmentedA  E minorEm
bro--ken--
       G+G
you put your arms around
D MajorD   A augmentedA   E minorEm
me---------------
       G+G
you put your arms around
D MajorD   A augmentedA   E minorEm
me---------------
       G+G
you put your arms around
D MajorD   A augmentedA   E minorEm
me---------------
       G+G
you put your arms around....

D MajorD       A augmentedA         E minorEm
....i must've passed out on the porch
       G+G            D MajorD
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
    A augmentedA         E minorEm
when i wake up im in the waiting room
   G+G       D MajorD
on a dirty hospital couch
      A augmentedA         E minorEm
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
    G+G         D MajorD
and my body's wrapped in debris
    A augmentedA           E minorEm
sitting next to me reading the paper
      G+G    D MajorD
i put your arm on my knee....
