Verse
D#
Thank you for drinking my drinks
D#
Each one like a footprint traced in felt-tip ink
G#
Where we're dancing cheek-to-cheek
G#
If you were taller
D#
I've been sewing together our clothes
D#
I matched up the hemlines on my cuffs and yours
G#
And I've threaded carpet floss
G#
And spent my dollars
[Chorus]
A#7
On these quiet nights with you
A#7 G#
So that our bodies would move to country tunes
G# A#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A#7 G#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G#
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
D# G#
[Verse 2]
D#
I think we're both still good to drive
D#
I toss you the keys and say "I trust you with
G#
My life."
D#
Round lights on the road like a scene
D#
From the end or beginning of things that appear
G#
On the cinema screens
[Chorus 2]
A#7
On these quiet nights with you
A#7 G#
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
G# A#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A#7 G#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G#
They tell my hands where to move
[Instrumental]
D# G#
[Bridge]
A#7
But when I'm drunk I become merry
G# A#7 G#
And strange torsos and legs I will not carry
A#7
But for this now I know you are certain
G# A#7 G#
When our jackets for each other we're removing
A#7
Like a broken jack-in-box
G#
You and me can tremble but not talk
[Instrumental]
D# G#
[Chorus 3]
A#7
On these quiet nights with you
A#7 G#
My god, our bodies do move to country tunes
G# A#7
And like I planned your bangs, they would obscure the view
A#7 G#
But your eyes clearer than two polished glass test tubes
G# D#
They tell my hands where to move
