of the words that are pour ing out

of your (B)crook ed spout.

Last (E)night I held was a rec ord (E7)do to be bro ken.

When

It broke ed all o a ver the (E7)kitc hen floor.

Oh no, I

don’t you (B)go...

I’m (C#m)com in’ back with a (A)rag

to wipe (Am)your a way wring the haze

from the days

we’ve for got ten all a bout.

Be my (D)some bod y to night,

be the one who’ll hold me tight,

’Cause I’ve (D)been so all a lone,

and no one will pick up the phone, so hon ey, please
