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