Your Arms Around Me by Jens Lekman
Your Arms Around Me
Capo:no capo
Capo on #7
D Em G D
I was slicing up an avocado when you came up behind me
D Em G D
With your quiet brand new sneakers, your reflection I did not see
D Em G D
It was the hottest day in August and we were heading for the sea
D Em
For a second my mind started drifting,
G D A Em
you put your arms around me
G D A Em
You put your arms around me,
G
You put your arms around
What's spraying on the kitchen sink
What's this I have time to think
I see the tip of my index finger
My mind is slowly creating a link
From your mouth speaks your lovely voice
The best comments I've ever heard
Oh honey you've cut off your finger
I bet that gonna hurt
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
I must have passed out on the porch
I'd never seen so many bright stars
When I wake up I'm in the waiting room A
At the local ER
My hand is wrapped in toilet paper
And my shirt's all blood red
I see you standing there like an angel
And I say “Baby I must be dead”
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around

[Verse]
D A Em
....i must've passed out on the porch
G D
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
A Em
when i wake up im in the waiting room
G D
on a dirty hospital couch
A Em
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
G D
and my body's wrapped in debris
A Em
sitting next to me reading the paper
G D
i put your arm on my knee....
(Repeat Chorus for outro)
