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