D    A              Em              G                  D
I was slicing up an avocado when you came up behind me

          A               Em        G                           D
With your quiet brand new sneakers, your reflection I did not see

           A                 Em              G                D
It was the hottest day in August and we were heading for the sea

       A                      Em                    G           
For a second my mind started drifting, You put your arms around;

(Chorus) 
D     A     Em         
me---------------

             G          
you put your arms around

D     A     Em         
me---------------

             G           D
you put your arms around....

      A                       Em
blood sprayed on the kitchen sink
      G                   D
whats this? i had time to think
          A               Em
i see the tip of my index finger
        G                    D
my mind is slowly creating a link
         A                        Em
from your mouth speaks your lovely voice
            G           D
the softest words ever spoken
       A                    Em
what's broken can always be fixed
      G                  D
whats fixed will always be----

(Chorus)
   A    Em
bro--ken--
             G          
you put your arms around
D     A     Em         
me---------------
             G          
you put your arms around
D     A     Em         
me---------------
             G          
you put your arms around
D     A     Em         
me---------------
             G          
you put your arms around....

D             A                 Em
....i must've passed out on the porch
             G                       D 
dreamt i was carried in a kangaroo's pouch
       A                 Em
when i wake up im in the waiting room
     G              D
on a dirty hospital couch
           A                 Em
my hand is wrapped in toilet paper
       G                 D
and my body's wrapped in debris
        A                     Em
sitting next to me reading the paper
           G        D 
i put your arm on my knee....

(Repeat Chorus for outro)
