[Em][G]
[C][Em][G][C][G][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
Bend [G]a shoulder to your lover
[C]Sinking slow in the August hea[Em]t
I am [G]older, half my mother
[C]But God this time just carries me[Em]
Could you hold her,
[G]could you love her[C]
As you did in [Em]humidity
Since the [G]winter you've
gone [C]colder
Purple hands and purple feet
[Em][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]
It's comical and [Em]bright[G][C]
How your head's on right
[Em]ways[G][C]
Just calico [Em]inside[G][C]

[Verse 3]
With the head on sideways
[Em]
Undress my [G]body before I [C]go
[Em]Soon babies thig[G]hs go indigo
[C]Hol[Em]d your index at[G] my waistline
[C]Where you won such a careful lov[Em]e
We are [G]only half our mothers
[C]Look how this time just
ruins us
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
It's comical and bright
[Em][G][Em][G][C]
How your head's on right
[Em]ways[G][C]
Just calico [Em]inside[G][C]
With the head on sideways
[D][Bm][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]Calendar lov
[Bm]er you t[C]ire so quick
If you'd [D]say it out [Bm]loud,
well I could [C]lose in my fist
But I'm [D]only a [Bm]sweetheart
when [C]you see it fit
I'll say
[Em][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
We're comical and bright
[Em][C][Am][C]
With your hands on my [Em]waist[G][C]
I'm calico [Em]inside[C]
With my head on sideways
