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