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