Sandalwood

Tune down one whole step (D), or, if you are blessed with a cutaway, you can
put a capo on the 9th or 10th fret and emphasise the bass notes a little more.
This sounds awesome if one guitar is tuned down and another with the capo.

      She can't     tell me that    all of the love songs have been
    written             cause she's never been in love with you before
(2x instrumental)
Your skin smells    lovely like     Sandalwood
               Your hair falls      soft like	     animals
                I’m trying to keep  cool         but everyone
likes you

Now I want to      kiss        the back of your neck
The top of your    spine where your      hair hits
And gnaw on your   fingertips and              fall asleep
I'll talk you to   sleep

Here is an alternate version if you don't want to tune down your guitar, 
or if you want to add another guitar part and play them at the same time
(sounds cool):
