Verso: 
Am 
Slow is the memory 
                     C 
I can picture her standing right in front of me 
                  Dm                  G 
Orange blossoms crushed on concrete 
          Em              Am 
I walk around with bare feet 
       G         Em 
And I know you want me 

Am 
Can't remember everything 
               C 
Her skin it tastes like sugar cane 
                    Dm                        G 
And I had already gotten there before I came 
     Em       Am 
My tank is empty 
        G             Em 
And I know you're thirsty 


[Refrão]
Am              C           Dm 
I have already tried to explain myself 
Dm                      F 
It's not that I love someone else 
    F                 G            Am 
But I can't bear to listen to you cry 
Am                     C 
I'm sick of all these wasted years 
   Dm 
A rag for someone else's tears 
   F                  G               Am 
I wring you out as I hang you out to dry 

Am 
C'mon C'mon 
C 
Get off the phone 
Dm 
Please come home 
                      G 
It's been so lonely since you've been gone 
Am 
you won't surround me 
C 
up and down me 
Dm 
Be all around me 
                G 
Baby I can't breathe no more
