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