Intro: A riff G6 riff Bb Riff D x2

A
The cactus cuttings took root
G6
The tea you brought me smacked of passion fruit
Bb
In a room where the heat bled in through the wall
D
I lay breathing in the design of it all
A
What is there to regret
G6
Your mouth was wet
         Bb        D                 A riff
And your shoulders rolled under mine

G6 riff Bb riff D

A
I saw the glaze come over your eyes
G6
I felt my blood pumping and the heat rise
Bb
I've seen pretty eyes before, but never like those
D
And your body opened like a new rose

What more is there to say
G6
The air gave way
      Bb          D
