D         Bm           G         G
I see you naked in the bath
D    Bm                   G         G
Cigarette stains on your hands
D      Bm            G    G
Wilted flowers in a vase
           D       Bm      G         G
I ask how are you

D         Bm           G         G
I see the lipstick on your glass
D                Bm               G         G
I think your're drunk I start to laugh
D            Bm               G     G
I found your note the letters ran
            D         Bm     G         G
They said I loved you, yes I loved you
