C A# F
[Verse 1]
C
Forget all the stones I threw
A#
Intent on keeping you
C
I lost my keys in a haze of blue
A# F C
A crash, a trick of the light, all heady perfume
C
We could trace that slow ellipse
A#
All cheeks and fingertips
C
And grasping with such grave grips
A# F C
But then, the moment is done, our troubles resume
[Chorus]
A# F
I'm counting on a fat chance
A# F
And turning off the lights
A# Dm G C A#
I think about you back wearing strands like every night
F A#
I'm clinging to a slim hope
F A#
A message in a leaf
Dm G C
But we would think of seeds when we were as tall as trees
A#
C A# F
[Verse 2]
C
Saw you once in a stranger dress
A#
Confused by loneliness
C
You were dressed up in nature's best
A# F C
But then, they wouldn't let up, I couldn't break through
C
And when all the dust has cleared
A#
I'll still be sitting here
C
All alone at the last frontier
A# F C
But then, I give it all up, I leave it to you
[Chorus]
A# F
I'll take you to the west coast
A# F
We'll haunt it in your dreams
A# Dm G C A#
We'll drive around like top down ghosts, stoned drunk and free, no no no
F A#
But of course you'll miss the seasons
F A#
The summer, winter tea
Dm G C
The buttons on your big down coat are kind of neat
A# F
C A# F
[Outro]
C A# F
Am I keeping you down?
C A# F C
Are you sticking around?
