As recorded by Amos Lee (2023 release) [Intro] D Dsus4 D G D Dsus4 D G [Verse 1]
      D
Baby, see how I been living

       Em                        G
Velvet curtains on the windows to

         D
Keep the bright and unforgiving

Em                        G
Light from shining through

D                        G
Baby, I remember all the things we did

D
When we slept together

        G
And the blue behind your eyelids

Em    G
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 2]
            D
Traced your scent through the gloom

       Em                    G
Till I found these purple flowers

      D
I was spent, I was soon

Em               G
Smelling you for hours

D               G
Lavender, lotus blossoms too

D                       G
Water the dirt, flowers last for you

Em    G
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 3]
     D
Tangerines and persimmons

        Em       G
And the sugarcane

           D
Grapes and honeydew melon

       Em            G
Enough fit for a queen

D                 G
Lemon trees don't make a sound

D                            G
Till branches bend and fruit falls to the ground

Em    G
Baby, sweet baby

D  Em7 G
 Yes

D Em7 G
Yeah
[Verse 4]
           D
Come to my world and witness

    Em                         G
The way that things have changed

         D
'Cause I finally did it, baby

      Em              G
I got out of La Grange

D                 G
Got in my Mercury and drove out west

D                         G
Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test

Em    G
Baby, sweet baby
[Verse 5]
          D
I've been tryin' to enjoy

        Em               G
All the fruits of my labor

          D
I've been cryin' for you, boy

    Em                G
But truth is my savior

D                         G
Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same

D                      G
Take the glory any day over the fame

Em          G
Baby, sweet baby

Em    G
Baby, sweet baby
[Outro]
D  Em G D
 Yeeeeeah
