Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | - | Am | C/G |
| G | - | Am |

[Verse 1]
C/G      G
   Baby, see how I been living
       Am                        C/G
Velvet curtains on the windows to
         G
Keep the bright and unforgiving
Am                     C/G
Light from shining through
G                        C/G
Baby, I remember all the things we did
G
When we slept together
       C/G
In the blue behind your eyelids
Am          C/G
Baby, sweet baby

[Verse 2]
            G
Traced your scent through the gloom
       Am                    C/G
'Til I found these purple flowers
      G
I was spent,
           Am                    C/G
I was soon smelling you for hours
G               C/G
Lavender, lotus blossoms too
G                       C/G
Water the dirt, flowers last for you
     Am      C/G
Baby,  sweet baby

[Verse 3]
     G
Tangerines and persimmons
         Am
And sugarcane
C/G           G
   Grapes and honeydew melon
       Am
Enough fit for a queen
C/G G                 C/G
    Lemon trees don't make a sound
     G                       C/G
'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
  Am        C/G
Baby, sweet baby

[Interlude]
| G  | -   | Am  | C/G |
| G  | -   | Am  | C/G |
| G  | C/G | G   | C/G |
| Am | -   | C/G | -   |

[Verse 4]
        G
Come to my world and witness
        Am             C/G
The way things have changed
         G
'Cause I finally did it, baby
          Am       C/G
I got out of La Grange
G                         C/G
Got in my own Mercury and drove out west
G                         C/G
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test
     Am      C/G
Baby,  sweet baby

[Verse 5]
       G                          Am
I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
C/G       G                            Am
   I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior
C/G G
    Baby,
                      C/G
sweet baby if it's all   the same
G                      C/G
Take the glory any day over the fame
     Am      C/G
Baby,  sweet baby

[Verse 6]
       G                          Am
I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor
C/G       G                            Am
   I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior
C/G G
    Baby,
                      C/G
sweet baby if it's all   the same
G                      C/G
Take the glory any day over the fame
     Am      C/G
Baby,  sweet baby
