A
Sitting here
Wishing on a cement floor
      C
Just wishing that
            A
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
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
       C
And a letter in your writing
         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

     A
So, sitting here wishing On a cement floor
      C                       A
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
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
      C                       A
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
