(intro)  G

G
Your lips are nettles
Bm
Your tongue is wine
Am
You're left as liquid
D4                      D
But your body's pine

G
You love all sailors
Bm
But hate the beach
Am
You say "Come touch me"
D4                                    D
But you're always out of reach

G                      Bm              Am       D4 D
In the dark you tell me of a flower
G                         Bm              Am     D4 D
that only blooms in the violet hour

G
Your arms are lovely
Bm
Yellow and rose
Am
Your back`s a meadow
D4              D
Covered in snow

G
Your thighs are thistles
Bm
and hot-house grapes
Am
You breathe your sweet breath
D4                   D
And have me wait

G                      Bm              Am       D4 D
In the dark you tell me of a flower
G                         Bm              Am     D4 D
that only blooms in the violet hour

( Am  C  G   D )   (2x)

G
I turn the lights out
Bm
I clean the sheets
Am
You change the station
D4               D
Turn up the heat

G
And now you`re sitting
Bm
Upon your chair
Am
You`ve got me tangled up
D4        D
Inside a beautiful...

(2x)
G                      Bm              Am       D4 D
In the dark you tell me of a flower
G                         Bm              Am     D4 D
that only blooms in the violet hour
