My dearest, my dearest, my dearest, I have been thinking 
      F                              C        G 
About you every second that I am not drinking 
          Am     G      F 
I've been sober about a week 
        Am   G        F 
I can't even wash the sheets 
              Am       G      F           C 
It's like the ghost of you is still in my bed 


 
C                                                      F 
How's the weather on the coast here? I hope it's not raining 
        C                                                F 
Are you soaking up what's left of sunset setting on your tan skin? 
      Am             G        F

         C                                          F 
And this bed's a little cold and it don't sleep the same way 
       C                                         F 
In the sand in Savannah is better than Atlanta's highways 
      Am             G        F 
Oh, I wish you would call and say 
                               Am G C F 
Come over, babe, come over, babe 
                   Am           F       C 
But I've tried for days yet you still remain

Oh, lavender and how you stain

C                                                    F 
Did you finally buy the car and get the guts to run away from 
     C                                                 F 
That time with the dirty mouth that kept you up like a bass drum 
      Am      G        F 
Oh, I hope he burns in hell 
                                 Am G C F 
Right after jail, right after jail 
       C                                                F 
In the song we used to sing I hope you know I scream my lungs out 
        C                                       F 
On your favorite part when the bridge starts to fall down 
      Am     G       F 
Oh, I know I sound insane 
                                  Am G C F 
I'm not the same, I'm not the same 
                      Am        F       C 
Though I've tried for days, you still remain 
 

 
    Am   G       C    F 
Oh, lavender and how you stain 
    Am   G       F       C 
Oh, lavender and how you stain

          C                                             F 
That your tears decorate my shirt right on its shoulder blade
