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