Sitting here
Wishing on a cement floor
     C
Just wishing that
I had just something you wore
   C     A    C            A
I put it on when I go lonely
         Dm9             F
Will you take off your dress
    G          A
And send it to me?
A
I miss your kissin'
And I miss your head
      C
And a letter in your writing
        A
Doesn't mean you're not dead
     C      A           C      A
Just run outside in the desert heat
          Dm9       F
Make your dress all wet
    G          A
And send it to me
  A                    Dm9
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
      C
And a letter in your writing
        A                   Dm9 A
Doesn't mean you're not dead
   C          A
So spill your breakfast
    C         A
And drip your wine
     Dm9       F              G A
Just wear that dress when you dine

So, sitting here wishing
On a cement floor

Just wishing that I had just something you wore
C           A          C      A
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
        Dm9     F
Wipe'em on your dress
    G          A
And send it to me
A                         Dm9
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
