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