They D#tried to touch my sweet VioDlet
I D#put them in the ground and therDe they are yet
And Gevery night I Dsit and listen why my mind runs
I Gsee her face I heDar hD7er voice  and nearly come undone
She sings
Chorus:
DChico D7come on Ghome, CDhico cD7ome on hGome
DChico D7come on Ghome, you’ve been Bbgone way tDoo long
My souls locked in a private hell, my body is in a prison cell 
My mind’s a jungle full of fire, my heart’s a dungeon of desire
I kiss these prison walls so cold and wet 
Pretending they’re the lips of Violet
And every night I sit and listen why my mind runs
I see her face I hear her voice and nearly come undone
She keeps singing
Chorus
