Verse
E
Thank you for drinking my drinks
E
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
A
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
A
If you were taller
E
I've been sewing together our clothes
E
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
A
And I've threaded carpet floss
A
And spent my dollars
[Chorus]
B7
On these quiet nights with you
B7 A
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
A B7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
B7 A
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
A
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
E A
[Verse 2]
E
I think we're both still good to drive
E
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
A
My life."
E
Round lights on the road like a scene
E
From the end or beginning of things that appear
A
On the cinema screens
[Chorus 2]
B7
On these quiet nights with you
B7 A
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
A B7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
B7 A
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
A
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
E A
[Bridge]
B7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
A B7 A
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
B7
But for this now I know you are certain
A B7 A
When our jackets for each other we're removing
B7
Like a broken jack-in-box
A
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
E A
[Chorus 3]
B7
On these quiet nights with you
B7 A
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
A B7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
B7 A
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
A E
They tell my hands where to move
