[VERSE]
D
Well I've been stunned and I've been turned
I've been undone and burned, I saw you as the answer to
G
Years of blue and wonder
D
Your voice shakes me through, but you don't know what I might be
You haven't seen the worst of me
G A
And when your eyes move down I'm silent
[CHORUS]
Bm
Put your arms around me, dear
A D G
And pull your mouth up to mine
D
And what's that word
G D
I forget sometimes
A D
It's the one that means
G
The love has left your eyes
[VERSE]
D
I'm thinking now when I first knew
I was lying with a stranger
And you were curled up with a paper
G
In your little SOMA room
D
The telephone was pouring blue
And when I hung up with you
I was sick and sad and I wished I had
G A
Just a kiss to bring you over
[CHORUS]
Bm
Put your arms around me, dear
A D G
And pull your mouth up to mine
D
And what's that word

[VERSE]
D
Well, I wonder of you now
And what happened to you
I remember words
G
That were said and sighed and written
D
But I hear things, you know
I hear the bottle broke us down
But not a word from you yet
There's things that
G A
Even a drunk will never forget
[CHORUS]
Bm
Put your arms around me
A D G
And pull your mouth up to mine
D
And what's that word
