Our bed we live our bed we sleep

flesh is warm with naked feet
C#m7 Fmaj7
stabbing thorns and you become me
G6 A G6 C
oh I'd beg for you you know I'll beg for you
Chorus:
C D Em Am
pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
C D Em Am
take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
C D Em Am
if you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend
C D Em Am
pick a flower hold your breath and drift away
Verse 2:
she holds my hand we share a laugh
slipping orange blossom breezes
love is still and sweat remains
a cherished gift unselfish feeling
oh I'd beg for you you know I'll beg for you
pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower hold your breath
and drift away
Verse 3:
she tells me things I listen well
drink the wine and save the water
skin is smooth I steal a glance
dragon flies are gliding over
oh I'll beg for you - you know I'll beg for you
pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower hold your breath
and drift away
