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