The flowers I bought when you took off are wilted in the vase
There's something here beneath the hair that kind of looks like my face
Garbage man, oh garbage man, why won't you leave my street
How can this street possibly excrete this much trash seven days a week


CHORUS:
C#m    G#       C#m     B
  I am here and you are there

       E
And it don't make me feel any better

   Gdim Eb      
My baby blue, my you know who

      G#         C#          F#         B
Bring your sugar back before my heart attacks


I feel I should abandon all and travel down to the south
I swear I would if only I could get last nights party out of my mouth


CHORUS:
I am here and you are there
And it don't make me feel any better
My baby blue, my beautiful darling sweetheart honey-poo
Bring your sugar back before my heart attacks


I'm drinking more and more and more, can't hold onto myself
There aint no use when you're not here appreciating my good health
I know I'm here and I know you're there, but it don't make me feel any better
About eating more and sleeping less, I'm just waiting for your letter
