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