I had a thought, dear
G
However scary
C
About that night
G
The bugs and the dirt
G
Why were you digging?
G
What did you bury
C
Before those hands pulled me
G
From the earth?
G
I will not ask you where you came from
G
I will not ask and neither should you
G
C
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
C
G
We should just kiss like real people do
G
G
I knew that look dear
G
Eyes always seeking
C
Was there in someone
G
That dug long ago
G
So I will not ask you
G
Why you were creeping
C
G
In some sad way I already know
G
So I will not ask you where you came from
G
I would not ask and neither would you
G
C
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
C
G
We should just kiss like real people do

G
I could not ask you where you came from I could not ask and neither could you
